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!

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
