There is No reason to Buy an F150 EV OR Ecoboost.

[Tezz500]

With almost 13,000 miles on the 2022 F150…. I can confirm that there is ZERO reason anyone should buy an EV truck OR a TT V6 Ecoboost.

Why you ask?

The evidence on the EV is profound and obvious. Anyone buying a truck for truck things, won’t be able to accomplish those goals in any reasonable amount of time. It’s garbage. Save yourself the hassle.

As for the Ecoboost, everyone buying them I would assume is doing it for gas mileage…

I challenge you to a commute test.

I drive 36 miles 1 way back and forth to work. Roughly a 45min to 55min trip depending on traffic. This is a mix of roughly 40/60 city/highway traffic.

Only mods done to the truck are MBRP catback and a PMAS cold air intake. Truck also has factory 3.73 Gears.

Your Ecoboost is trash. It sounds like a weedwhacker.

Do yourself a favor… trade it for a 5.0 tonight.

You’re welcome.

lol. love the thread.

I had a 2011 Ecoboost F150 with the 3.5 and loved it. Had great power and mpg was pretty darn good.

However, that 24.9 is pretty crazy to think about. I don't think my 3.5 EB ever got that. And yes, it definitely sounded like ass. Not as bad a a non-muffled coyote, but pretty darn close.

Blow me! I get 24 all city on my 2.7, and it'll probably smoke yours. lol
Oh yeah, hand calculate it sometime Tim. The computer will lie.

i get 18mpg in my exp sport, i would say 75% highway, 25% city.
has an air raid intake, and Pedal commander.

5.0L?

Just lol @ that poverty spec. 6.2L Raptor R or nothing. **** gas mileage

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

The computer will lie.

theres a way in the dash to correct it if your hand calcs dont match.

and meh, I dont give 2 shits about a couple mpg, I like the low end of the eco with stock exhaust, especially with a tune. My old steel truck with 3.73s would get ~21 on the interstate but I threw that out the window with the level and bigger tires.

I had a 2019 2.7 and it was a decent truck. But it was gay.

I been debating this with myself a lot lately. And honesty I don't see much gain either. 3.5tt does have a bit more torque, but my gas mileage is 20mpgs on mostly highway too. About the same mileage back and forth as you also. However I would much rather have a 7.3 godzilla in a new F150. Maybe I'll hold out for that day. LOL Or just go with a F250 to not do much truck things with. Ha

If I could get you to leave your safe space we could run em! LOL.

Only if you put aftermarket exhaust on.

The gays need to drive something too, bruh!

My vote:

Strip the v6TT from all owners and replace them with Lightnings. If youre going to be gay, be full gay.. .no half-steppin.

Agree?

 

[Blown 89]

No argument here. The EV truck barely has enough range to tow a race trailer to and from any race track in the area none the less stretching its legs out in the state. When I say barely.....there are three tracks in the city. One is a 42 minute drive from my house and I can't get there and back. The other two I would arrive home with less than 20 miles left so if I have to make any stops I'd have to recharge. These EV trucks are clearly not ready for prime time.

 

[mysticsvt]

I aint gonna lie, I'd go back to a V8 if I bought another Non-Raptor truck. Doubt I'll be getting into an R anytime soon.

I haven’t figured out how to explain to my wife that the F 1 Fiddy needs a VMP Odin…

Still working on that.

Yea man. It’s 2023… just go on and suck that cack tight down to the balls.

I get 10.8mpg in my 6.0 '05 2500HD

 

[mysticsvt]

Is that a 36 gallon tank? I see 630-650 a tank on trips. Def not around town.

Yep.

And that’s strictly my commute. Which is roughly 40% city BS.

Yeah I've never seen anything that made the Eco jump out ahead of the V8 in terms of gas mileage and pretty sure there are more issues to be had with the Eco than the V8.
