The take away here is the Ecoboost is a solid engine, purchase with confidence. Otherwise there would be 7 pages of issues and not 7 pages of Ecodiesel mpg debate.
I have no dog in this hunt, but I clicked on this thread to learn a bit about the reliability of EcoBoosts (I've always wondered) and it appears to have turned in to a mpg and manufacturer debate unfortunately.
Would enjoy seeing this thread get back on track with some more posts from the OWNERS of the EBs on reliability.
Have a 2013 with 60,000 miles on it and love it. As you can see by the picture it sits just fine with no modifications. Granted it is just the wife and I so there is what a few clothes and some food and we typically don't fill fresh water using full hookups thus keeping the weight down. I am very pleased with the power especially when pulling out to pass. We are in the Ozarks in Missouri frequently and again no issue. MPG is typical really depends on the wind more than anything. It is a max tow haul with the 3:73 rear-end, On a side note it will due 100 mph in the 1/4 mile. that is about top end but is real quick and I LIKE IT lol
