Fastlane tunes Ecoboost Truck

[Cooter]

I did the test tonight. Over 19 miles at 65mph with the cruise control it averaged 23.2mpg.

you calculated your fuel mileage over a span of 19 miles? did you use a graduated cylinder or did you use the lie-o-meter?

Got a question to all the new Ford owners. Do they have remote start now days?

I hate to return the kick, but mine will be paid for in one year. With just a drop in K&N filter mine ran the best of 9.142. When I first got the Truck I made a trip to Orange Texas (I-10 close to the Louisiana border) and when I got down there it had an average of 21 mph. By the time I got back it was at 19.1 mpg. But I did hit 115 mph getting around some logging trucks a time or two.

Jason, you have not idea how bad I want one of those ecoboosts. They are a lot nicer than my jap truck. I just want a paid for truck more than anything right now. Ford having that zero percent interest for 60 months does not help matters either.

Do you have a tune? I'm asking because the trucks are limited to about 105.

It comes with the FX luxury package. Not sure about the others but it is offered.

The "lie-o-meter." I did it that way to compare apples to apples to the Dodge truck mustangguy289 drove and tested.

I will say that I've found those things to pretty accurate now a days.

Yes, remote start is available. My truck has it and I love it.

No I do not have a tune and mine is at 115 mph. (give or take a mph or two) Bone stock except for the filter. I was expecting it to be around 98-100 mph like most trucks.

I had to buy one thru Best Buy for the Jap truck. I will not own a vehicle without it now days. That is a great luxury.

They just waste gas. lol I can see it being good on the few really cold days we have.

[TX_92_Notch]

coming from someone with 3 Fords in their sig lol




Nothing could possibly beat Dodge's anti-swamp ass option of front cooled seats.

Except maybe Ford's heated/cooled front seats?? And heated rear seats...

You got a one track mind. Those summer months, the truck is nice and cool when you get in it. My brother had the same opinion till we got in and out of my truck a few times with it being 105 degrees. He said "Ok, now I get it". He has had one ever since.

You will not ever miss remote start if you have never had one. But once you own one, it is a very nice luxury.

I am just messing around. The remote start and cooled seats offereded in all leather Dodges and some leather Fords would be great for the summer.

I agree about air conditioned seats are damn nice. Cools your ball off pretty quick. But i don't have that particular luxury. My buddies ford does. Damn I want a new ford truck.

I wonder why your truck is limited higher than the rest of ours?

My 2011 F150 5.0L is limeted to 105, and the only video on YouTube I could find is some guy topping out at 100 in a King Ranch EcoBoost.

SSman has a Toyota not an F150.
