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?

I see your location is Oregon. Is the 2013 F150 he's looking at silver with 39,000 miles and at NW Jeep? That's my old one. By the way, the dealer has it listed wrong. It's a 3.31, not a 3.55. I added the towing mirrors later. If that's the one, it also has a Torklift Superhero hitch and a Roadmaster Active Suspension plus E-rated Les Schwab tires with only 10k on them. Chances are it's not the one, but you never know.

The Ecoboost engine was outstanding. The 2013s didn't have the condensation problem. Plus I could get 20 if I was very light on the accelerator. My best was 22 down in Oregon doing 65, but I had stock tires on it then. The only reason I traded it was because I was towing heavy (8-9k depending upon the load I put in the toy hauler). It could pull like a beast and I could go up the passes here doing the speed limit (or better), but going down hill and towing in the wind was a little too white knuckle for me.

I did have issues with the Sync voice recognition, but it did work. I just had to mispronounce my wife's name.
