I have heard nothing but great things about these trucks, can anyone shed any light on real life experiences

There you boss man, multiple pages of it for ya.

I was a Ford certified master tech, went to a class when the Ecoboost came out. Ford tested those motors at nearly 30 psi of boost making over 500 hp on the dyno with no durability issues. We did not have many come in for warranty problems although non warranty repairs on them will likely be very high in a few years.

On another note a Ford engineer showed us how to rig the wastegates to make 26psi lol then let us test drive.

Buddy of mine has one and he loves it. Pulls his formula 271 without issue.

Yup lots of experience. Did a whole documented run with 2 (a 355 truck and a 373 truck) as a test.

Best 1/2 ton tow vehicle available today period end of story.

If you just cant swing a diesel something or other - this is it.

Uncle Dave

just got 1 a few months back. just turned 5k. no issues runs good and has some b@#$'s for a v-6.

I've had mine for a little over a year now. Fantastic truck, after awhile I forget that it has a v-6, drives like a v-8.
Just wishing Ford would come out with Eco-boost v-8, that would be fun.

In my way of thinking all american vehicles are woefully under powered in the breaking department. Especially the over the road 18 wheeled trucks. It's amazing that their isn't more people killed with the stupid things they do in front of 80,000 lbs or more moving down the road. I think people in cars think heavy trucks can stop as fast as cars. Their should be federal standards for gross capacity stopping distances. Just my opinion and I am not a trucker.:

UD...do you think it could pull a twin 30'-32' (lets dismiss truck chassis capacity for sake of argument)?

+1
I'm looking at replacing a 2500 Avalanche one of these days and need it to pull 11k lbs. The F150 I looked at was right at this limit or just under. I'd like a little wiggle room...
