2013 Eco-Boost

[10sec302]

Considering buying a 2013 F150 Ec0-boost, but I hear that people are having wheel hop issues. Anyone have a truck or know somone whos also had this issue and what parts they put on it to fix it ?

Thanks

Never heard about this, my buddy has one and I love it. Ride is pretty damn smooth even with 22s on it.

mileage is not as advertised.... not even close. Get the 5L and enjoy the same mileage w/ v8 sound!

The only benefit is 87 octane and Tt's

Never heard of the wheel hop issue. I know mine doesn't do that. I'm happy with the ecoboost and mine gets 17 to 19mpg real world driving.

I had a 2011 and never had any problems. This is the first I have heard about wheel hop.

I havent either but a buddy said his does it real bad. He has an FX2 with the gray 20s and said his wheel hops real bad.

I averaged 19 to 22mpg driving to work everyday and that's with a heavy foot...

My 2011 with 18's had wheel hop, but it was a hit and miss thing with it. Mileage was as promised when I first bought it, then went down hill, but I drove it less and stayed on the pedal more. It was a fun truck, other than the random rear lock up at 30mph it did at 3,000 to 5,000 miles(dealer checked it and couldn't find an issue.) I did not have a single problem with it at 42,000 miles when I traded it in.

Any other known issues? Been looking at a 2013 FX2 ecoboost.

It is between that and a dodge but I like Ford more so trying to stick with Ford.

My 2012 f-150 ecoboost doesnt have a wheel hop issue. Super Crew 4 x 4.

They are nice trucks, pulls very nice for a gas motor

No wheel hop on my previous '11. The bed does move a lot though on rough roads.

Yep, impossible with a heavy foot. We have about 5 Ecoboost trucks here at work and the overall mileage is around 16mpg mixed. Not that great honestly. That said, it CAN get decent mileage cruising at a lower speed on the highway and they do have some strong towing/pulling power, so overall it's a nice engine.

I havent looked at the engine bay of the eb f150's. Where are the turbos at?
