F150 Ecoboost Reliability
A friend is looking at a 2013 F150 Ecoboost and I'm wondering how these are doing reliability wise. What was the first year for the Ecoboost?

AlmostanOldGuy's summary is good.
I've had zero problems with my 2011 Ecoboost with 103,000 kms, 70,000 towing.
The engine does require high rpms to provide much engine braking but that's only rarely an issue for me.

He did a great summary, some early issue, that have been resolved. The high revving for engine braking, is partly due to the small displacement. Early diesel exhaust brakes also required higher revs due to the design of the butterfly valve, newer designs work much better.
