Somebody described the 3.5TT as a grenade wrapped in marketing hype.

I wouldn't do an ecoboost for prob another two years still to many bugs they are trying to fix in the f-150.

I agree with you I couldn't follow all of it. I figured I would chime in my 2 cents though while I'm at it. I think modular engines are obolete but so are OHV engines. The last OHV engine I can remember ford making was the 3.0L vulcan and I think it was done in like 06ish. Anyways I think the way of the future is going to to get rid of a lot of mechanical moving parts by going to electronically actuated valve train. Which has already been successfully done. Only time will tell but I'm not chiming in to argue with anyone.

Pulled into Home depot this am and parked next to a guy with 2011 eco boost f150. So i asked him hows the mpg?
He said its ********* hyp. Hes been back to the dealer 5 times had them ride along with the tech with comp to check the truck out.
Hes said best hes seen was 17mpg highway
and lucky to get 14 around town.
He said the dealer told him Ford bases the mpg at 50mph.
Hell i get 15mpg highway at 80mph with 5 star tune.
Not starting a war just what one owner told me. true ?
