First Tow with EcoBoost
We had our first camping trip of the season and my first tow with the Ecoboost. I was pretty impressed with the power. My previous truck was an F350 Diesel and the Boost definitely could hold its own ...

The old truck was 2010 F350 with the 6.4L. Well, maybe it had more power and acceleration, but the ecoboost still had no problems getting up to speed in a hurry. I actually had to make sure that I hit the cruise control because I caught myself doing 120km/h a couple times with even noticing.
The F350 a great truck...I just got sick of dealing with diesel particulate filter. Other than the summer months, I only made short daily trips with it, so the DPF was more work than it was worth to me. I was a little apprehensive at first about making the switch (thinking it would be a serious downgrade in performance), but I am really glad I did.
I've heard of people on here with the diesel particulate filter problem. Maybe it was you?? My brother has a F250 the diesel truck and never has a problem with that. There was a problem with some of them that needed a reflash of the computer. We have recently leaned also that they are really, really, sensitive to using the right type of engine oil. You Must Use a CJ type oil. If you don't it screws everything up and the computer is always trying to clean the particulate filter. Even a single quart of the wrong type of oil will cause big headaches. Our new tractors are all Tier 4 type engines and we have to be really careful with oil for them too.
Did someone maybe put the wrong type of oil in your diesel engine??
