On the ecoboost front (at least with the F-150), I need to state it again as I talked trash about our first Ecoboost truck as it had the water moisture issue that caused hesitation during acceleration and some coil packs went bad, etc. all around 70k. Basically, it seemed like the engine was falling apart. I figured the Ecoboost was a POS based on that experience and stated as much on the board.
Well, I provided a slight correction to that a while back on the board when those issues finally got resolved and our company safety director kept piling on the miles without issue.
I'm happy to report that our safety director now has 237,000 miles on his Ecoboost Lariat and it's still running strong. He also tows crap around the country to our jobsites when he's visiting and his bed is always loaded down with crap, so much so, that he installed airbags when he first got the truck. He took it in recently because he heard noises in the suspension/chassis and he throught the front-end on his 4x4 had finally gone bad, but he was told the front end was still fine and it was a minor issue in the rear of the truck that echoed up to the front. It was fixed and he's still driving it all over the place.
In summary, I'm now a believer in the Ecoboost engine. It's proven very durable, reliable, and powerful for our safety director in over 237,000 miles and it's still plugging away.
