Got a new truck!

[EvinFord]

Got a new truck finally. I brought home a new 2011 F-150 on Friday. It is amazing. There is so much room in this truck!

Anyone else have a 2011 or 2012 F-150? The computer does so much and I am still learning. I also got the Ecoboost 3.5L V6. And so far I am loving it. Once I break it in, I will let you know how it tows my 21ft fiberglass bass boat. I have heard it tows great though.

I've got a fx2 with the ecoboost and it towes my 21' aluminum boat great. My wife likes it so much she said it makes driving her Tahoe feel like driving a work truck. I guess that's the reason I'm at the dealership looking at new Expeditions today!

I figgered it would'a turned into a Ford vs Chevy vs Darge vs Tyoti thread anyway.

IDK why it got pulled. I thought it was funny myself. Admins must not have liked it.

Why isn't Ford putting the new engines in the expeditions? Still has 5.4L.

I don't know why but I wish they did. I should be picking up her new Expedition wednesday.

I've got the Ecoboost too and really like it so far.

Thinking about going get me a new truck (ford) F150 tomorrow....

[jlincecum]

congrats!! love mine so far

[beerman]

Had mine since November. Great truck but they're full of crap about mileage. Say 21 but best I can get is about 15. Still love it.

Mileage on the Ecoboost is tricky. Mine unloaded with just myself and no wind, I can get 19 on the highway. Put two more guys with me a decent crosswind and it drops to 17. But for having a V6 and all that power connected to the skinny pedal, I'm not complaining!!

Is your truck a 4x4? If not it looks like Rocky's pal is getting way better performance from the exact same truck?

It is a 4x4 with a leveling kit and 34" BFG A/T.

I have a 2011 F-150 XLT 4x4 that I picked up in August. I am in sales and cover all of La, and I only average about 17.5 mpg. I love this truck though. It has a ton of room, and pulls like a champ.

Got the same truck and lovin' it in the 4x4 with V6 Ecoboost. Mileage varies (according to the computer): avg in town with just me, about 18; 23 going down the road at 55; about 20 on interstate; and about 12 when hauling a bay boat or mid-size tractor.

Nice truck with loads of room (4 door), only complaint is the shortened bed, only 5.5 feet. Works for me!

17.5??? That's good! I only get 12.4-13.7!!

Is it really necessary to "break" in any motor these days? And if so what is the correct method? Just drive it hard as hell for the first 500 miles or so?
