The F-150 EcoBust is currently experiencing design problems that the Ford engineers seem to not be able to solve, at least 3 TSB fixes over that same number of years plus the current fix which is beginning to look like yet another failure.

F-150 "drill a hole"

All of my friends who have them love them. One of those trucks did have the condensation problem. Ford replaced the intercooler and re-flashed it, and the problem went away completely.

Maybe you need to check with your friend again, Ford has admitted that even the newest, 2014, fix is not working in all cases.

Anytime you have enough "constant" airflow demand for the engine to create a pressure drop across the CAC you run the risk of condensate pooling.

In moderately high engine load, cruise mode (O2 sensor A/F mixture control) the F-150 engine demands enough intake airflow to accomplish this.

Blah Blah Blah... I'm not going to deny that a SMALL % of the Ecoboosts had condensation issues. But after seeing the sales #'s exceed 550,000 F150's w/ Ecoboost since 2011 I don't think it's as big a problem as you claim.

To the OP, Buy what you want. A nice Platinum with all the options will ride and feel like your driving a high end luxury car!


P.S.- My 2011 has been running great ever since i drove her off the lot 45,000 miles ago! And she gets a workout!
