Truck Advice...

I was expecting the back of the truck to be squatted more, the pictures kind of don't do the trailer justice its much bigger in person than it looks in the pics.

I drove the Eco and the 5.0 back to back and liked them both to the point that I really could flip for it. Mine will wait to spring unless an Ecoboost is a choice for my new company rig but they only let us get 3/4 tons which my current 2500 HD tows nothing like those F-150's did.

I can actually adjust that squat all the way out. The hitch with that trailer uses anti sway bays and is weight distributing such and it relieves the load from the tongue on hitch and spreads across truck and trailer frame. I am sure it will squat down more with the 24Ve.

BTW, I just noticed in the picture that it says 5 deg, not 5%. In the car, I thought it said %, didn't look close enough. But its close enough. A 6% grade is .06 * 90 which is 5.4. So before anyone points out I am blind, at least I know how to use a calculator. ;-)

Y, you told me that when you were out here, I just couldn't believe it. Its a good thing the dealer sold the Green chevy out from underneath me and I decided to test the Eco. Best decision. I do miss the momentary grunt when you hit the throttle on my 5.3 and on my dad's F150 5.0. But after that, the Ecoboost just pulls like nothing I have been in.

Very cool ragboy! Ford definitely did their homework with the electronics, that is cool stuff!

Our Eco Boost came in yesterday We ordered it on 7/26/11 Have not got to drive it much yet but we will be. This is My 7th Personal Ford product since 84 and I have had multiple company trucks also I have yet to see a major repair with any Ford product that I have owned
Ragboy, That intercooler is pretty good sized

What kind of mpg did you get? Ballpark range is close enough.
