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?

The F150 was investigated for MPG because of **** like this...
Consumers see this and they believe it to be set in stone.
EPA estimated fuel economy in big bold print. Consumers buy it expecting that mileage. Only they buy the crew cab, long box, 4x4 with 3.73 gears. Not the reg cab, short box, 3.31 geared 4x4.
Consumers don't drive like EPA testing either.
So they take their trucks to Ford for crappy mileage. Ford takes it for a spin at 55mph. It's still less than the bold number but within the range in the little fine print. Ford tells them its within accepted range. Of the dealer is feeling generous they will do a flash but otherwise send the consumer home.
