Interesting. That illustrates why the 2L Ecoboost engine in our former Escape outperformed the 4L NA engine in our current Frontier, even with 2 less cylinders.

Based on the EcoBoost engines I have seen, you can almost double the effective "displacement" of an EcoBoost engine. IOW, the 2.7L EcoBoost performs like a 5.4L engine, and the 3.5L EcoBoost performs like a 7L engine. The second generation of the 3.5L EcoBoost is now producing ~~ 470 ft-lbs of torque, and it's still a flat curve.

Thanks GlueGuy ! Next question is how long can one expect an ecoboost engine to last in miles, such as the 3.5L? Curious as my 94 F-150 with a 5.0L V8 is beginning to get a bit tired and rusty with 315,000 Michigan salt miles on it. Also the 31 deer kills have not helped either, nor all the other "hits" (I haven't kept track of those) where they only got maimed and limped off the road.

Leo, the engine is still very strong as well as the clutch and throw out bearing. Main issue is with the deteriorating body, getting a fair amount of rust, especially in those areas where deer have met their doom.

I have a 2013 F-150 Ecoboost Ford 4 door truck, bought it new in 2013 and so far have 1004 thousand miles on it, still like new, changed out the front rotors when I bought it, due to a Ford front end shake, cheep stock Rotors, other than that, runs like new. I'll keep until it dies.

Thanks coyote, that is good info to know. Think I will start casually looking at used Fords with ecoboost, was 2013 one of the first years they installed them in the F-150?

If I could afford to buy a new Ford 150, I'd do it. But in the meantime, I'll manage with our Dakota.
