(quoted from post at 10:22:57 06/26/16) I have been thinking of buying a new Ford pickup. Any opinions on the V-6's and the V-8 engines. I would use it mostly for transportation, light
hauling and towing. Thanks .

I don't want a tubo on anything give me the bigger engine it may use a little more fuel but I can spread the cost over time verses sticker shock when a turbo goes out.
(quoted from post at 09:39:29 06/26/16) I have a 2015 4WD F150 Supercab with the new 2.7 Ecoboost engine, very happy with it. Hwy mileage is in the low 20's, about 11-12 pulling a 4700 lb camper. Plenty of power for my needs. I have gotten use to the auto shut off, it can be over ridden. Rides and handles much better than 2008 F150.
(quoted from post at 23:01:29 06/26/16) No you didn't, the 350 was too much for those trucks, didn't need the extra hp either. There are still many, many mid 2000's Chevrolet suburbans running around here getting pretty good mileage with 300,000+ on the odometer. Chevrolet and Ford do make good products sometime. Also, I could care less about mucho horsepower, why do you need 365 hp in a 1/2 ton pickup. You cant do any serious hauling or serious stopping with that size pickup, that seams like bragging rites, but I guess that is what sells trucks, practicality has gone out the window, nowadays. Most of the 1/2 ton trucks here are just people haulers anyway. The 4 door pickup has become the new station wagon. I still cant understand why 365 hp?

I'm with Hobo on this.IF- and it's a big if I was to buy a twin turbod V6 I'd get the extended warranty.I hate to think how much it would cost to replace just 1 turbo never mind 2 when the truck is out of warranty!

The fuel mileage of a Ford, with all that stuff under the hood, is not any better than a similar Chevrolet that has NONE of that stuff under the hood.
