Ford F150 EcoBoost Turbo V6 - 24 Hour Torture Test Video

[sabgog]

A nascar weighs roughly 3400 pounds each, is that trailer really over 4000 lbs?

[TheHanndave]

@sabgog

For hauling 2 cars weighing 6800 pounds I sure hope so!!

[Ahenakew911]

I wasn`t much a ford fan till my dad bought one of these trucks they ride smooth and have the numbers to back it up

[nolifehater]

why it sound like a v8?

[thebluecommet]

The v6 sounds good on paper, but id be worried going in for maintenace since it could be quite more costly.

[200103511]

What I want to know is what oil was used during that test!!!

Does anybody know? (for a fact)

[johnnyo032003]

I really need to figure out a way to get my dad to watch this, he thinks the ecoboost engine isn't powerful enough to tow a 21' boat and here it is pulling 11,300 lbs which is more than twice the weight of a boat.

[HFCHSvids]

@johnnyo032003 A V6 Tacoma could tow a 21 ft. boat. We have a Tundra that tows a 24ft. Boat. I think your dad really needs to see this

[Trigun075]

@johnnyo032003 did you get him to watch it?

[cal920c]

WHO DARES DISLIKE!!! must be the competition

[9cobra4]

I love these new engines! One question though, why does it make V8 noises when it pulls out of the pits? Lol

[shockracer]

nice how every time they show the gauges, there is no milage, lol

[semeponedura]

what this video trying to show that the engine is really reliable and it i know for sure you wont be driving 24 hours straight at 100 mph so stop putting ignorant comments like... "100 mph is that all?"

[KendrickMcMurphy]

and the BIG question is what was the average MPG during the testing?

[lastostyle]

@KendrickMcMurphy With towing it's rated max at full throttle, i would say it's nothing impressive. 5-8 mpg would be my guess. What i would like to see is what kind of MPG's would we see with no load cruising at 70mph...i know it's rated at 21 but would like to see a real world test.

[Strykenine]

@KendrickMcMurphy Mileage when towing will be closer to what you would expect with a standard V8. The turbos don't do anything magical, you still have to invest the energy in the form of fuel to move a certain amount of mass. What the EB mill does do is improves mileage and performance in the kind of driving that is done by most people day to day - I have an EB Screw that has put up 21.5 and 22.8 on two 300 mile trips, but mostly highway miles. Around town, I'm getting 17 unloaded.

[iPROFITDON]

I literally hate every F150 outside of the Raptor. But they've got something special with this EcoBoost. But I really feel any truck now days can do anything the others can. It all comes down to preference.

[ken060693]

@iPROFITDON idk, this ecoboost has great gas mileage (for its class) can do 0-60 in 6.1 seconds (unloaded) and has more torque than comparable v8's in its class

[TheJimbowism]

1 person....well is just a fag.

[atvcanamdan]

where is it they say that it gets better fuel milage??

[falaqdad15]

That EcoBoost engine is amazing! and so are those turbos

[bluntman99999]

FORD rules!! hands down!!!

[umlax45]

tow something with a little more wind resistance/drag than two race cars.....try a boat @ 100mph for 24 hours

[KB9VBT]

100 mph is real good if you ask me. Coming out of a turn with an 11,500lbs trailer behind you ain't like doing it in a race car.

[citydriver]

100 mph??! thats it????

[vetteburna]

@citydriver I don't think anything you drive could haul 11,500lbs at full throttle for 24hrs without blowing the tranny, water hoses etc.. And yea this thing already had 150k miles before the run.

[Dereks06]

@citydriver U do realize that you can't spin truck tires that fast because of their weight, or you risk a blowout. And usually trailer tires are only rated up to 85mph top speed. The truck is surely capable of driving the whole rig much faster, but doing so for a long period of time is very risky. Imagine blowing a tire out at 120mph with a totally rig weight of probably 17,000lbs?  Not good at all.

[dirkadir]

Wow... I think Ford will keep their #1 selling title, plus some...

[MrUpgraydde]

Makes you wonder how much they could get out of an ecoboost V8?

[MercuryMorrison1]

@MrUpgraydde That's what I want to see. I think the 5.0L is a great canadite for Ecoboosting.

[BLACKLACDTS]

Can you get the ecoboost motor in a regular cab short bed 2 wheel drive truck? i know you can get the new 360hp 5.0 but not sure bout the ecoboost. if you can i bet its impressive. now if ford will put the ecoboost 3.5 in the 2wheel drive short bed regular cab ranger they will be on to sumthing!!!

[adogg619]

@BLACKLACDTS

You can get the ecoboost engine in regular cab 2 wheel drive, but only with the long bed.

[BLACKLACDTS]

@adogg619 boooo!!!! lol

[MrUpgraydde]

Is ecoboost just Ford talk for turbo charged?

[Mazmac24]

@MrUpgraydde yupp

[Ice420Crusher]

@MrUpgraydde Turbo charged ''V6''

[EatmyDust1311]

@MrUpgraydde alluminum block v6 + twin turbos + direct injection = ecoboost

[EvilxMerlin]

@EatmyDust1311

Um, no Ecoboost can be four or six cylinder engine which is based around direct-injection turbocharged engine technology. And not all are aluminum block.

[EatmyDust1311]

@EvilxMerlin all ecoboost engines are aluminum, and the truck application is v6 only.

[EvilxMerlin]

@EatmyDust1311

Ecoboost is not just for trucks though. And for now its V6 only. When the F100/Ranger comes back I'm willing to bet we will see a 4 banger in it.

[billy25685]

I will be test driving a 2011 F150 soon as they are available. Hope it is as impressive as the hype.

[telj1]

I love these EcoBoost endurance test!

[TheKaymor]

i want one

[SmasherVlog]

Ford and their Eco Boost engine are amazing
