    I just bought a 2017 f150 EcoBoost 4x4 crew cab. I drove it from Ohio to Florida averaged 24 mpg. I love the 3.5. Do yourself a favor. Leave it stock. As far as the engine goes. That 3.5 will last forever. My dad has a 2014 EcoBoost with 268,000 miles . No engine or transmission problems. Towing is no problem. I've hauled 4 ton of gravel with mine with no issues. I hauled my buddies mud truck that weighs about 6 tons no issues

    I love the fact that Andrew is a former step son and yalls relationship is just as close as a blood son. He does everything you do. Drive a fox he got fox's get a lightning he gets a lightning. Get a f150 now he wants one. That says volumes about how you treated him when you were his step dad. Much respect for you man. Alota dads out here could take some lessons on how to connect with kids from you for sure.

    Tune it and race the Lightning! I bought one in 2011 brand new and was one of the first to tune a Ecoboost. If you want to keep it quiet, id tune it and put a drop in filter and be done. A good Tune makes over 100whp and 150wtq more than stock, night and day difference. The throttle response and trans shifts are firm. I went with MPT to custom tune the truck. Loved it!

    Nice truck BREW2L, you will love it. Very comfortable, roomy, and strong all in one. I love my Ecoboost F-150. My first one was a 3.5L, my current one is a 2.7L. Overall the 3.5 was more powerful but the 2.7 does quite well for everyday driving with rare towing that I do. I have always wanted to try a Coyote but I have been told I would be disappointed in the low end torque vs the Ecoboost. It would be nice to see what a mild tune would do for one of these.

So much room for my family and we fill that truck up. Mine has like 180,000 miles and still going strong. I got a 2” leveling kit and running 33” tires, 3.73 gears and just kills an mountain pass or hills. It has towed a bit as well and does so well. I would say go for the stage 3 motor sports power packages with like a CAI, Exhaust and chipped. That’s what I hope to do soon.

    I personally like reverse level. If you have heavy tongue weight, air bag the rear then.
    Tune for sure, not sure what else really helps without extra noise or creating lag. Intake and exhaust, like every other engine? Bigger turbos most likely move away from what you want.

    Bomba racing makes a pretty slick blowoff valve adapter that gives you the blow-off sound with just a couple bolts. Once you get a 3.5 it's hard to go back of you tow alot. All the power and pretty much no engine noise with my 10,000 lb 35' camper behind it.

    Nice truck, congrats 👍. Got family with both ecoboost and 5.0. One has a 14' 3.5 eco, it's not bad I expected a little better. But quick. Next 15' 5.0. Quiet at idle and sounds like a mustang WOT, he loves it. Last, 19' 3.5 eco. Definitely feel the 2nd gen 3.5 power bump and 10spd makes it pull hard. 19' is quickest but 15' isn't far behind and sounds amazing. I'd get the 5.0. Cause fun fact ford's power numbers are on 91 and sometimes 93 fuel. So if that's the case 5.0 can hang just fine even without turbos. Plus when your kicking the shit out of it I'm sure the 3.5 eco is not much better if any on fuel.

      I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 141,000 miles and still going strong and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK.

      As far as I know under boost pressure every engine runs a "richer" fuel mixture. Turbocharging is nice for the same reason a 4 barrel carb is better than a 2 barrel. As long as you can keep from building "boost" or "opening up secondaries" on a carb you can get really decent fuel mileage.

    Keep an eye on the coolant level with the 3.5. Nice truck!! Hate the engine noises through the speakers lol
