Anyone towing with Ford 2.7 EcoBoost?
How is it working out mileage and performance wise?
Forum Discussion
I've got the 3.5 Ecoboost in my 2013 F150. It has been flawless. Love the performance. The turbo can be addictive and really kills the mileage. Lots of youngsters on the F150 forum complain of poor mileage because of a heavy foot.
Mixed town/rural I get 18.5 mpg. On the Interstate driving around 70 mph, I average 21.5 mpg. On a recent trip to Texas where the speed limit was 75 mph and also had to drive freeways in Dallas where consistent speed is impossible, mileage dropped to 15 mpg. Towing our 25' Outback, I get 10.5 mpg. The Ecoboost pulls the Outback with ease. The only issue I had was with the soft P metric OEM tires. Now have Load Range E Hankook and the truck handles like it is on rails.
