Ford F-150 EcoBoost Teardown from NAIAS - Part 1

[023338]

wish i came in the EXpedition

[halflife103]

Come on guys, V8's are great. But that doesn't mean that they are the best.... (They are in a lot of cases). But there is better technology, for example this Ecoboost.

I just wish it could at least sound like a v8.

[classicrock4ev3r]

i work for ford and have serviced several of these ecoboost f150s and i am quite surprised as to how well these engines hold up with varying amounts of mileage and to all of you uneducated morons out there who say junk and it sucks go do your homework and get off your fucking high horses

[MrRedskins0021]

After many years of supporting Am'erican cars i finaly gave into Toyota. I got tired of all the breakdowns on the street and parts breaking apart. 2010 Silverado is the worst truck in the world

[USSWISCONSIN64]

he says they are doing test that people can't do? HAHAHA try that F-150, Dodge ram 1500, Chevy silverado 1500 in my yard and we'll see what can survive. but they have to be the truck that i want. not some other guy.

[uploaded113redone]

4:24 wtf are they looking at

[uploaded113redone]

hey guys lets all compare a 6 litre diesel to a 3.5 litre gas engine and say its way better .... no shit dumbfucks this motor is for fuel efficiency not for power

[MrWVFordGuy]

I have a 1997 f150. Love it. It gets the job done.

[markstruemind]

I love mine!

[sokodad]

I'm a Chevy man, but this makes me want to buy a Ford. Wow, what an engine and what a truck.

[bobbybob3680]

or o GONE

[nortenero]

@bobbybob3680 Hahaha, I noticed he was pronouncing that wrong.

[fonzi1938]

as much as i hate to admit it being the owner of 5 ford pick ups, 3 of which were built in Canada and like most of you the patriot in me is proud of this, but direct injection, ovhc, vvt and turbo chargers are not new technologies, european manufactures have been using this stuff in gas motors for decades to improve economy without sacrificing power, not to sound like a conspiracy nut but pressure from oil companies and the government is the main reason we're just getting this now

[seapeddler]

They never ran the motor without anti-freeze. This would overshadow the B.S. about 'torture' testing. A good motor should be able to drive the entire length of Death Valley without coolant. But this would require quality metals. Any beer-can engine can go 160 000 mi. Aluminum = big profits. What % of consumers actually buy?

[troyweeseful]

@seapeddler the only engines i ever seen run with out coolant is in the derby and they do not last long no new engine with cats on the exuast will last with out coolant .AND WHAT CONSUMERS WANT TO BUY IS F-150 'S THE BEST SELLING VEIHICAL IN THE WORLD.

[f350brent]

I wanted a RAPTOR but couldn't get it in a four door so I leased a Ford EcoBoost, Now i'm loving that truck so much!!!!!! If I can get a Eco Boost in the Raptor I will get that in two years...... If Ford makes a V8 EcoBoost THAT WOULD BE INSAIN!!!!!!!

[rob6961081]

Dude, the idea is to produce equal or same hoersepower and torque as a 5.7 V8, is not a race car. The goal is met because this conundrum not only produces higher HP but is best in it's class for torque!!! The point is...gets better torque and HP than most V8's with higher gas mileage!!! that is called efficiency.

[chamberj2004]

Even if something went wrong with the engine or transmission I'm pretty sure you would never hear about it. It would be a PR nightmare for Ford. I would hope that the truck would be able to deal with this type of abuse it's a brand new truck. Why not give it too a contractor too use for 3 years with Ford not being involved and then perform the torture test. These tests are controlled so if anything went wrong you would never know.

[TheHashBot]

Chris Brown betta not hit that eco boost...

[Fx4Ranger2002]

They should drop this Eco boost 3.5L V6 in the 2012 Ford Ranger(if they make one) the 2.3L and the 4.0L just dont have the ability to compete with some of the new midsize trucks

[fordmanx3]

@Fx4Ranger2002 a 4.0L eco boost would be bad ass :)

[XBOYZ45]

@Fx4Ranger2002

no more Ranger

[Fx4Ranger2002]

@XBOYZ45 Yeah I know RIP Ford Ranger 12/16/11. They will pry bring em back in a few years like Chevy did with the s-10 and brought it back bigger and better as the Colorado. Your gonna see 1993-2011 Ford Rangers on the road for a very long time, its impossible to kill them, you can beat the shit out of a Ranger, dog it, run it offroad, and not take care of it and it will still run 300K+ miles

[XBOYZ45]

@Fx4Ranger2002

I think they are going to use the funds that built the Ranger and focus on a vehicle to compete with the Chevy Volt .

[Fx4Ranger2002]

@XBOYZ45 Well they already take the cake with the Taurus SHO, and the F-series trucks. Seems like a lame reason for ford to compete with the Chevy volt instead of designing another compact truck. Its gonna be pretty stupid when every other automaker sells a compact truck exept Ford, I guess if you want a Ford truck now you have to spend $20,000 more to buy the f-150

[XBOYZ45]

@Fx4Ranger2002

It is a smart move for Ford though , because there really isn't a strong market for compact/mid-sized new trucks at the moment .

[Fx4Ranger2002]

@XBOYZ45 Your right about that. Why not buy a 2012 ecoboost f-150 4x4 with 365h.p and 420ftlbs of torque and get 25mpg. Whereas your loaded Ford Ranger 4x4 4.0 would only get 18mpg

[halflife103]

@Fx4Ranger2002 Why?. The Ranger isn't a Midsized truck?.

That's comparing apples to oranges.

Besides, the new European Ranger can compete with full-sized trucks. That's why they do not want to bring it to the USA because it would hurt the f150's profit.

[Fx4Ranger2002]

@halflife103 Your right, but they could atleast release a 4 door crewcab version with a small 2.0 EcoBoost 4 cylinder and a 3.5 6 clinder

[halflife103]

@Fx4Ranger2002 i thin the weight with a 4cyl without extensive turbo and high rpm would probably lower the fuel economy.

[racecardriver467]

funny how that don't mention fuel consumption compared to V8's except for when its racing.......

[Motorfordtoyota]

Ive seen the teardown and call complete BS. The engine looked like it had 10 miles on it. BS.

[throwingchamp611]

@Motorfordtoyota thats called superior engineering and proud american workers who put this engine together.

[Motorfordtoyota]

@throwingchamp611 No, thats called a brand new engine. Every engine in the world is going to have play in it at 160k.

[BigRed10287]

I would LOVE to put one of these in my Ranger!!!!!

[AllAlaskan907]

@BigRed10287 YES! If Ford was smart they would make this an option in the Ranger and keep it in thier line up.

[GoGoggansGo]

@AllAlaskan907 you are a smart man they need to put the ecoboost motor in the ranger and keep the ranger line instead production stops on dec 22 2011 =(

[AllAlaskan907]

@GoGoggansGo Ya, I know lots of people who are sad to see it go, And I think if FOrd just did some updates to it (like a bigger engine and possibly heavier payload capabilitys) it would sell even better. Most people I know who own rangers love them, only met 1 that didnt. Heck My Ranger has over 200k miles on it and still going strong.

[GoGoggansGo]

@AllAlaskan907 It really disapointing but maybe like the taurus it will come back soon. My 93 4.0H.O that my dad ordered new with ford racing suspension and an mustang gt 8.8 with 3.55 gears under 150000 and I have done alot to the motor and it runs better now than it did new. Its going in a car show on saturday =)

[AllAlaskan907]

@GoGoggansGo Ya mine is far from show quality hahaha, its seen more than its fair share of abuse, mine has a 8.8 with 3.73 gearing with a 5 speed. For a 17 year old truck with over 200k miles it still has a lot of get up and go! I hear of people dog on Little Rangers but they really are great little trucks. I had some one tell me that my ranger was good for no more then 200k miles, well its over 200k and still kicking! I know of quite a few that have over 200k some have over 300k on em.

[GoGoggansGo]

@AllAlaskan907 my dumbass uncles sezied up after 35000 he didnt change the oil for 50000. But mine was custom made and order by my father he retired from Chicago Stamping 32 years. I have put close to 3000 into the truck stage 2 clutch and too many replaced parts to list included many performance part MSD etc pulstar plasma plugs custom ram air, ford racing lightning side pipe. and an 93 bama octane tune

[GoGoggansGo]

@GoGoggansGo Sorry my uncles truck had 350000 miles not 35000. typeO

[GoGoggansGo]

@AllAlaskan907 I wish i had 3.73 but going from 3.55 to 3.73 is pointless and putting 4.10s with the bama tune I would get like 15 on the hwy sorry no thanks. Its just hard to make more power with the 4.0s there no that much to do to them expesally before 97 without the ecu computer. I would like an BBK thottle body. If you want more info on the 4.0 and other rangers go to the rangerstation website and there is a Facebook seperate site called rangermilitia I am there as well my truck is listed.

[AllAlaskan907]

@GoGoggansGo I use to hang out on there alot when I was younger (first truck was a 84 Ranger) but I havnt really been on there to much lately. I should get on there more and check it out.

[GoGoggansGo]

@AllAlaskan907 the new tech website is the best info on how to fix everything.

[BigRed10287]

@AllAlaskan907 Or at least the 300hp 3.7L with direct injection. And make a 6 speed optional in both stick and auto, and finally box the freakin frame like they've already done with every other truck in their line up!!!!

[bmxguy08]

Now i just need to get my hands on one of these motors and drop it in my 240sx :)

[blownutsmyass]

they pulled 1 log at a time what a joke. also they missed all the cold starts that people in the real world would be doing and many others. just a sad atemped to change there bad rep of making JUNK.

[Magnuspire]

The big 3 are putting themselves back on the map now. :)

Jeep's making their Jeeps stronger, Ford is making their trucks pull more and engines last longer.

These are the two companies that will ALWAYS have my money.

[Sausageonthegrill]

about four people pressed the "I have a small penis" button.

[pothour43]

Run it out of oil for 1 mile , and see what happens .

[l33twar]

Lol wait for Chevy's new powertrains :)

[Davaith]

@l33twar well like usual ford has to either add a turbo or supercharger to get more power out of anything they make. And its great but kinda like using steroids..

[EatmyDust1311]

@Davaith yeah, a 3.5 liter turbo 6 is cheating. put a supercharger on a gm 5.3 and pull the plugs and injectors out of two cylinders and see how fast it goes or how much gas it uses.

[Davaith]

@EatmyDust1311 Thats like saying to break the legs of a pro powerclean lifter and ask him to lift weights compared to a midget on steroids.. lol Adding a Turbo to any size displacment almost doubles its original displacment and more efficiently. no doubt that this little engine kicks ass. But thats besides the point.

[EatmyDust1311]

@Davaith the tubochargers produce only 12 psi max. so no, it does not double its displacement. that would require about 14 psi. the ecoboost is not cheating, it just raised the bar... a lot. every deisel uses turbochargers.

[Davaith]

@EatmyDust1311 Almost. but its w/e diesels are a different story since they would suck without a turbo..

[EatmyDust1311]

@Davaith so would a 3.5 v6

[MotoX179]

@EatmyDust1311 not the original diesels.

[EatmyDust1311]

@MotoX179 no.. in 1983 dodge introduced the first turbodeisel. but today, almost all diesel engines are turbocharged. gasoline or diesel, a turbo is a turbo and most diesel trucks dont have problems with thier turbos. i doubt people would even consider buying a N/A diesel today (it would be a dog) and soon it will probably be the same way with gas engines.

[MotoX179]

@EatmyDust1311 I know. in 2005 I had a 92 F-250 with a 7.3 (non turbo) in it. It was stock when I got it, And I slapped a Big gerret turbo, Stronger head studs, an intercooler, a big exhaust, and an intake on it (I used this truck for towing daily). It was fun to drive, but the issue with it was that (even though it had a big turbo and a bunch of other stuff on it), it didnt have NEARLY as much power as my 05 cummins. I know its an unfair comparison, but it was a 5.9, which the 92 dodge had.

[MotoX179]

@EatmyDust1311 2/2 and I know that when they switched to 24v, and then to the Common Rail system, The truck went from 250hp to 330hp.

[SkankRemix3]

A Cammer :)

[kyledawson52]

Props to ford for stepping up definitely better than then engineers at obama motors

[ashtrey05]

What turbos are used on this engine vs the ones on the SHO ecoboost? I have seen two different ones, Garrett GT15 and one made by Honeywell.

[04redmach1]

@ashtrey05 Honeywell on all.

[EatmyDust1311]

@04redmach1 Honeywell on the SHO, Borg-Warner on F150

[EatmyDust1311]

@ashtrey05 the F150 ecoboost uses Borg-Warner turbos.

[pikecountyboy1]

This is the most complicated engine I have ever heard of in a production vehicle Had to do this to beat a pushrod Chevy

[04redmach1]

@pikecountyboy1 No it's called giving customers what they want, and not using an engine it took 30 years to get right.

[SkankRemix3]

@pikecountyboy1

Fuckin Hicks

[tt2ent]

Glad to see Ford finally making a comeback. Im more of a GM buyer specifically LSX. If I were to buy a diesel 3/4 I seriously be considering a F 250

[HammerE30]

Ford should make an EcoBoost V8.

[81broncoman]

To all the GM and Dodge people: If this engine was a product of your preferred car company you would be claiming it to be the greatest advancement since the invention of the blowjob, but as its a Ford you declare that it must suck.

[SouthernRR4501]

They need to drop that ecoboost engine in the Mustang. Then it would be running with or beating the 5.0 liter V8.

[calvincameron18]

i was always a BIG for 150 fan, but now i there is nothing that can match it, after watching all 4 durabilatie testa i was not able to look at a chev the same

[boschistheboss]

Only reason why ford didn't win the Motor Trend truck of the year is plainly politics. A ford will outlast, outperform, and beat the competition. it is also important to take in consideration that they re put the motor on a dyno, yeah was still pulling the same numbers 150k miles ago. Obviously 20% leak down is not a lot for a compound turbo gas motor. Plus they tortured it more then any normal person could, providing they let it warm up, and change the oil.

[OnusofStrife]

They allows 20% leak down. Yikes. Something with 20% needs to be rebuilt.

[andrewkalajesse]

just a thought here it looks like all ford has done is made a turbocharged V6. Im sorry but i just dont understand what all the hype is about there not the first and wont be the last

[azulcrema06]

@andrewkalajesse look at all the videos to see what makes it badass.... hater!!!

[xXDynamosXx]

@andrewkalajesse because for American companies like GM and dodge (mainly GM) they seem to be afraid of turbochargers. so this translates into larger engines. it's a shame more American companies don't follow ford. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH TURBOS kudos ford.

[toki4040]

@xXDynamosXx im not saying there is anything wrong with a turbo i was just saying fords making a big deal about it when all it is is a turbo charged engine.

[throwingchamp611]

@andrewkalajesse the idea is that it gets the gas mileage of a v6, with the power of a v8, and not to mention more powerful than any compeitors v8

[EatmyDust1311]

@andrewkalajesse this is the first gasoline tubo engine in a truck. its also the first tubo 1/2 ton ever.

[pep6e]

Pussy ass trucks.

[dude991575]

@pep6e GTFO YOU WOULDNT KNOW SHIT ABOUT THIS

[SouthernRR4501]

@pep6e Wow then if that pussy ass truck beat the dodge and chevy while all of them were towing 9000 pounds going up hill then the chevy must be much worse than a "Pussy ass trucks". Troll.

[willj78]

Oh, I was there, just not on press day :/

[90steeda]

Just think no bail out money went to Ford and they were still developing this kind of technology. Just so you know the Japanese Government supplements R & D for the Japanese car companies. BE AMERICAN - BUY AMERICAN!

[TUFFGUYS1]

minus the dirt and stuff from the baja 1000 the engine still looks very clean

[seroyer2]

Oh my god, its pronounced or-e-gun!!!!!!

[dirkadir]

@seroyer2 Thank you!!

[eautocommx]

ja ja ja, have you seen the boys playing inside the truck behind Jim Mazuchowski?, very funny.

By the way I like this engine, I think it has a great performance

[emc2201]

im the guy in the orange north face in the backround lmao

[barfman7767]

@emc2201 Ummm... so? You win a cookie! :P

[tamidon98]

I am proud to say I build these engines at Cleveland Engine Plant one.

[1001Hobbies]

@tamidon98 Nice to see another CEP1 worker. You can see one of your co-workers in the video I put together with pictures my wife took while we were at the teardown. She is the fellow employee. Just click on my username. It is the latest video on my list.

[blownutsmyass]

@tamidon98 your proud to build junk wow

[MrTruckguy420]

To whom ever disliked the EcoBoost. Stop Hating, HATERS!

[centriosrj]

hmm would it make the difference if they didnt use synthetic oil and high octane fuel

[pfun41]

@centriosrj i thought they used conventional oil.

[whiteandnerdytuba]

cheers to the 3.7L beating out the v8 from the other guys.

[cat101pig]

@whiteandnerdytuba Just to let you know this engine is the 3.5L not the 3.7L the 3.7L has less power and torque then the 3.5L ecoboost

[rangaman86]

Dammit I can't stand engineers... Fucking guys don't even walk like normal people.. They glide.... Cool truck and new motor!! Ford needed a gas motor that was worth a shit after the 5.4l.. What a turd!! Motor was way under powered.

[Speedmccool385bitch]

@rangaman86 you REALLY think so...those engines are more powerful than most will EVER understand....

[RickArter]

Great video I have always been a ford fan!

[PowerInMN]

"FULL boost"

[RickArter]

@Zinizzle I thought the RAM was not included and a Ford, Chevy, and GMC was.

[Zinizzle]

@RickArter that's what I meant lol, I forgot MT did HD's this year. The RAM was a no show this year. Jus tthe F250, Sierra HD, and Silverado HD. Ford's trucks are hands down THE BEST, everyone knows that. If you want a cheap piece of crap get a GM truck. If you want a real work horse, that's built to last, go with Ford.

[1999z71silverado]

haha chris brown

[2354bill6]

Ford Is The Best!

[johntrebec]

@2354bill6 why?

[2354bill6]

@johntrebec Best selling and best affordible cars on the road?

[johntrebec]

@2354bill6 that's not that good of a reason, they could still be crap just cheap. some people will buy "american" even if it's an inferior product.

[2354bill6]

@2354bill6 Liston kid I have had ford all my live and i know for a fact they are the best so suck my balls

[blownutsmyass]

@2354bill6 ford suck!!!

[2354bill6]

@blownutsmyass learn to spell little boy

[blownutsmyass]

@2354bill6 haha looks like your the DUMBFUCK!!!!! that needs to learn how to spell. damn little kids with retarded dads that drive JUNK ass fords. it is funny how there are way more people with a low IQ level then high IQ and ford is the #1 selling truck for 30 some odd years. what does that tell ya?

[2354bill6]

@blownutsmyass Lul spaz Your just mad because you can't afford a ford

[blownutsmyass]

@2354bill6 your right i can't afford all the repairs it takes to keep a ford on the road. i would rather spend my money els where.

[2354bill6]

@blownutsmyass For one Why are you even watching ford vids if you are going to TROLL them?

second my family has had fords grandpa aunt's me parents, only thing we needed to change was the wheels and the fluids. so GTFO of this video if you hate ford got it bud ?

[blownutsmyass]

@2354bill6 i guess the truth does hurt huh? becuase even a ford boy knows what you just said was all BULL SHIT. all cars/trucks need more then fluid changes and why would you change the wheels? seems to me that tires would need changed not wheels. but i guess we are talking about a ford the wheels must break to with everything els on them.

[2354bill6]

@blownutsmyass wheels tires who gives a fuck you never answers why you are even on a ford channel?

[blownutsmyass]

@2354bill6 i have to keep up on the info of a inferior brand. then when a dumbass like you make shit up i know the truth. also who says i need to anwser to you? anether inferior piece of shit. but it is more fun to anwser your qestion because i know you wont like my anwser and cry like every other retarded ford fagget.

[2354bill6]

@blownutsmyass You probably drive a fucking Toyota so GTFO troll

[blownutsmyass]

@2354bill6 nope wrong again dumbass. toyota don't make a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel pickup. but im sure a toyota would out last a ford. after all toyota keeps more of our U.S. money in the U.S. then ford does.

[2354bill6]

@blownutsmyass I'm from canada

[blownutsmyass]

@2354bill6 THATS NICE DO YOU WANT A COOKIE? haha i know all canadans are not as stupid as you are. i feel sorry for the rest of them.

[2354bill6]

@blownutsmyass You raciest fuck head say that ti my face and i would cut off your head and take a shit in your thought

[blownutsmyass]

@2354bill6 how is what i said raciest? wow your one retarded mother fucker

[2354bill6]

@blownutsmyass btw what the fuck is up with your youtube username

[blownutsmyass]

@2354bill6 to make you ask stupid qestions and boy did it work lmfao!!!!

[bababooey7576]

@blownutsmyass Thankfully that little shit doesn't represent the majority of us Canadians. hehe that's nice do you want a cookie. good one. LOL tthat was 'raciest'? the fucker couldn't even spell racist.

[blownutsmyass]

@bababooey7576 well thank you. im not the best speller ether but how smart some one is should not be judged by there spelling but what they really know and that guy don't know much. im glade you liked my comments.

[jjpg2000]

OR-ih-guhn (like gun), not OR-ih-gone.

[USAFSmiley87]

Is it the second coming already? Damn I gotta get well dressed.....
