Aren't those fancy Ford Ecoboost trucks V6? Well, logic would tell you V6 would have to work harder than V8 to push a half ton truck hence burn more fuel

Twin turbos help. My Eco gets the same mileage my 08 tundra 5.7 did pulling a boat.

Ford is a nightmare in the collision world! To work on them, simply get every socket and wrench you own nearby because, you're gonna need it! I swear their engineers are bored with it comes to designing the bolt up aspects of their vehicles!:work:

For GM, you need an 8, 10, 13, 15 and, 18 mm socket.

Toyota, 10, 12, 14 and, an occasional 18.

Ford... 5/16", 5, 5.5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18 and, 19mm! That's just to get the front bumper off the dang thing! LOL
