► 2011 Ford F-150 EcoBoost Baja "Hero" Engine

[theDENNISw22]

i bet my 230,000 mile chevy could do that, not as fast becuz its stock but it could do it.

[joazortiz]

Mann... I wonder who is more bad ass: Mike Rowe or Chuck Norris?

[theDENNISw22]

@joazortiz mike rowe.

[MrCheez1]

this is all garbage

[ska7er96]

the ford raptor is still better except the gas mileage

[Jayhoyt32]

@ska7er96 Of course it is. But the point of this is to show what Ford can do with 2 less cylinders and still dominate the 2nd and 3rd rate trucks. Anyone today that still proclaims "Ford is shit" is simply the redneck kid who grew up with redneck dad saying his Chevy or Dodge was the best simply because thats what he owned at the time. Thats how most people become fans of a certain brand. I was raised Chevy. But then I reached the age of reason and opened my eyes.

[SKIM916]

@ska7er96 funny joke

[EightThoughts]

I just bought a brand new 2011 F150 Ecoboost. I am feeling pretty good about that decision.

[ttimothyp16]

when does the driver eat and crap?

[ArmChairPants]

I love how this is a video saying how Ford is Amazing and there is a shity Chevy ad next to it.

[ChevyTrucks383]

Turbo V6...

[UglyJoe2007]

@ChevyTrucks383 Twin turbo V6, duel over head cams, direct injection fuel system, 365Hp and 420fpt = you sittin in your chevy *Crying like a Bitch* just to quote Godsmack a little there lmfao...

[ChevyTrucks383]

@UglyJoe2007 Well arn't you just cool, I would rather have my 5.3 V8 Chevy. Say what you wan't, but it's a V6. Why am i sitting in my Chevy crying now?

[selfservant]

if all of these true blue americans had a brain cell or two they would buy the better product no matter where it comes from... so against bailouts from the government and so for bailouts from sentimental idiots, that said i do like ford.

[stingrayfff]

so haw mutch mony woold it be to put one of these in my 03 ranger? a smaller 3.0L vershion woold be perfect interested in better fule economy. i think these engines coold put it well over 30 mpg. this woold be amazing for a small truck.

[lonespartan31289]

@stingrayfff too bad the last American built ranger rolled off the line December 16 2011

[warrenlikesboats]

I must say ford does an excellent job of advertising the undenialable reliability and performance of their trucks, but in the end, chev and gm are just as good, and dont even require advertising like this to prove it... the owners just know it when they get in.

[lc2781]

Whats with the v8 sound?

[warrenlikesboats]

@lc2781 and yah, the block and basics may be stock ford eco tech, but the exhaust and most everything else under the hood of that ford were baja performance add-ons...

[mitchstavely1]

I've had mine for around 3 months and have not had any issues, and it seems to get more torque the more miles I drive it. I'm loving it so far. The gas mileage seems to be getting better also. I am averaging around 19.1 in the City with some mixed Hwy driving as well.

[supernatural824]

Why dint they stick that engine on a Raptor then make it do the baja straight from the showroom? if they do that ill get an ecoboost.

[Manchipaz]

What a about the Dakar? If they really wanted to proof Ford's reliability they should have tested it against Toyota an Volkswagen.

[shadowwolf41151]

ford is bad ass

[boomblok]

im diggin tht ranger on the lift :D

[nancybriseida1]

hjñbñjo

[Terratracks]

It's on the top of my list for a new truck (f-150 eco boost model). But as the dealer said they have not tested it in our Canadian winters and is waiting to see if it can handle it. The Eco boost engine is going to need all the luck in the world. A month or more of non stop -30c is hell on an engine and the rest of the truck. Not to mention the 7 months of winter. Best of luck Ford you will need it.

[UglyJoe2007]

@Terratracks I bought the F150 eco boost a couple months ago it hasn't seen -35 or -45 or even -55 but I'm sure it's going to do just fine. other then being an aluminum block and heads that take a bit to warm up so there's heat in the cab it runs fine so far at -15 or so.

[Lagaholic]

Isn't this what the Raptor was for?

[XxxfjftokyoxxX]

Just test drove the new ecoboost and I can honestly say that I wasn't smashing on the street and the meter read between 11 and 16 mpg and on the freeway the most it hit was 27 mpg at a steady 70mph so I don't know why people on here are saying that the truck is crap. Some people prefer chevy cause that's all they know or dodge but Iv driving them all and to me ford was the best one both in specs and value AND it runs on REGULAR GAS what more do you want?

[28power68]

Why ford put a V8 sound clip when that engine is a V6?

[SirKowalski666]

@28power68 They didn't use a v8 sound clip, that's just the way this motor sounds without the restrictive components in the exhaust.

[28power68]

@SirKowalski666 Listen carefully and you will realize you're wrong, the V8 engines has a distinctive sound, as the V6 and the inline 6 engines, you can recognize them when you hear them

[SirKowalski666]

@28power68 I've been around engines my entire life, don't bother trying to tell me what's what. Yes at first, even when I heard this motor it sounded like a v8 but it's just a nice boosted v6 without restrictive exhaust...

[millwrightman99]

I dont know why Ford doesn't offer this motor in the Mustang .- Probably cus it would make the Shelby look bad . Come on Ford put this motor in the Mustang and make an IRS optional -- just for thinking people ,Kids can have their V-8 and secretaries their low end V-6 -- the remainder need a reason to buy this new era Pony car .

Great Motor by the way nice video & Mike always good to see you out of the fishing boats .

[soccerjonesy]

@millwrightman99 They did do it in the past. They essentially took a modified, light weight frame of a Mustang GT, changed it's look, threw in an F-150 engine, extensive work to modify it to use a different gear box and all. What they finished with was a super car that probably will remain a legend. That super car is known to the world as the Ford GT.

[millwrightman99]

@soccerjonesy I think you may be right --even though you're a bit young , and were'nt around in the hey days of real muscle cars .Ford always leaves out the obvious .How the hell can any thinking person say an IRS is a bad idea axle hop & all that bullshit ,check out the 600 hp corvette or the Lanbos with their all wheel drive .Even that piece of shit Nissan now has launch control and all wheel drive .A turbo V-6 and irs is the least they can do - just like that crap Taurus ugly shit-box.

[SirKowalski666]

@millwrightman99 Haven't you ever seen an IRS snap at the drag strip? It would have to be one HEAVY duty IRS to be of any use in a truck. The axles don't seem to do so bad anyway, have you checked the lap times of the boss 302's? They run mid 11's at the drag strip with just a pair of sticky street tires as the only "mod" too.

[millwrightman99]

@SirKowalski666 Yes but my reference it to a street car .If you have the hots for racing then a regular Mustang would not be your choice --- it would be a heavily modified drag version , But I believe Ford needs to sell these cars to regular people who go to work every day on pot holed roads .These turbo engines would be a neat addition to a Mustang .

[SirKowalski666]

@millwrightman99 I use my old mans 2010 f150 4x4 supercrew to go to work sometimes, that axle feels fine, its not uncomfortable whatsoever, and the roads here are terrible, I live in Louisiana. I also have a Plymouth Fury that I use for going to work and cruising, it's got a few modern suspension parts and it feels easily two/three times as stable at highway speed than the stock suspension, i've been over 120 in it and it felt fine. It went 12's with the big block before the re-build too.

[millwrightman99]

@SirKowalski666 I will agree with you -- Ford has done wonders with that solid log in the back .I used to drive an F-350 at work and when new rode pretty good .

But you must realize the next step in evolution is an independent rear -- just like the old days we had drums on the rear for the longest time , and before that on all four corners .

I'm saying make an independent rear optional on the Mustang to bring it to world class --- keep the live rear for die-hards .

[devja71]

better swap in a 350 braaaaaahaaaa belch!

[MrXrepublican]

its forced induction. its supposed to have more torque. force induction any same sized engine and you have the same thing. its twin turbo, nothing to brag about

[Mijaycapri79]

They make that truck surely sound like a V8 in this episode

[Trebuer22]

Hey do u hav all the episodes in ur video list

[BuyAmericanRadioShow]

Check out Ford's VERY FIRST NASCAR win's (Jimmy Florian-1950-a humble Cleveland, Ohio guy ) 85 year old brother (my dad) going 150 mph in a Petty car 5/7/11 at Darlington. Ironically, his brother beat Lee Petty that hot day for the milestone win for Ford. Enjoy and please share You Tube Video:

Ford's 1st NASCAR win's brother races at age 85

[fordlover329]

HELL YA that's how ford does it off the line BAJA truck cant get better this why i love fords and way before!!!!!!!!!!

[mattgb1111]

Damn Mike Rowe has a way of making a ford commerial bad ass.

[brandon9491]

my mom has this truck and gets and amazing 9.9mpg... lol

[leader550]

At 1.14 the engine sound not for a stock engine. I love Ford and i have F150 2009 platinum . Ford please you do not have to do this shit

Ford will be the best

[ImN0TaCat]

this video is complete BULLSHIT. my brother just bought a brand new 2011 f150 ecoboost. worst truck he ever bought. every time he starts to get on the boost, the mileage goes anywhere from 2-6mpg. he averages about 30mpg on the highway which is pretty good, but if you need to give it more than 1/8 throttle, you mileage is shit. this video should be considered false advertising. dont believe anything anyone says untill you actually DRIVE the truck.

[karsrkool]

lol Ford SUCKS

[Hound419]

@karsrkool Oh yeah well what do you drive?

[ducksdontdrown]

I have a ford and I love it no problems what so ever it's all I ever want I love the way all fords look !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tough trucks to say the least.

[SirHedden]

This is what they deserve for not taking the fucking handout. Ford is the only american made vehicle I'll ever buy

[03kenseth]

@SirHedden I used to by GM. My 1st car was a GM....but i bought 1 ford in 94..and have not went back to GM. I love my 2010 Lariat..but kinda wish i waited for the ecoboost.

[PaganMale81]

@03kenseth I agree, I went with the '09 Lariat, and I really wish I would have held out for the EcoBoost.

[pajamawally12]

@SirHedden most fords are assembled, or its parts are made in mexico, it aint that american anymore sorry

[imjustwonderful]

is this the 3.5L???

[burton301]

@imjustwonderful yes it is. with turbo ;)

[imjustwonderful]

@burton301 lol with two turbos

[FuckinCrazyness]

bullshit i dont believe it. engine 44 AA or whatever the hell they call it was a custom built engine with upgrades inside, obvisly you cant see that cuz the case looks the same. when you buy one from the dealer it wont be as good. these wont catch on. have fun with the exhaust and tuning and buying turbos. nickel and dime in time

[bezzle67]

@FuckinCrazyness You do know they took this exact engine apart at the detroit auto show, let people examine the parts, and stated what the minor problems it had were, right?

[CometBear1124]

@FuckinCrazyness look at ur username, ur fuckincrazy for believing this is bullshit, fords are just beast, they dont need any upgrades to destroy the competition, if they did it wouldnt even be competition.

[kamaster1011]

@FuckinCrazyness dont believe if you want to but you are just stupid as hell.

[roflzzzz1237]

@FuckinCrazyness tell me why dealers in the us AND Canada are selling 80% of their f-150 as the STOCK ecoboost shown in this video.

[ottallman]

My next truck WILL have that motor.Can't take anything away from FORD.

[LeFredxD]

Somebody was masturbating thinking about the ecoboost engine and when this person finished,, she pressed Dislike because she though that if she would have this engine,, it'd be dangerous to have orgasms on the road and produce an accidend,, Tumbs up if you agree with this person! Hahahahaha XD

[zacheryds]

0 dislikes!!

[indestructible306]

i whant one of those engines for my fox body stang.....lol....

[bdodds1985]

what show is this on?

[gregturkey]

lol just wait everyone is going to pump these new turbo trucks out. im betting on ford for the best performance and reliability

[bigbad1000do7a]

Government motors cant compete

[4rdt0ugh08]

Whoa, I have ALWAYS been a DIE HARD FORD fan. Now with more kick, more everything... Look who's laughing now eh. (Chev, Dodge? Toyota? You listening?)

[indestructible306]

@4rdt0ugh08 ...amen..blue oval for life

[kalzx]

[OffYahTits]

[FreakyKing2]

was it just me or did it sound like a V8

[02stampede]

@FreakyKing2 Just you.. Definitely does not sound like a v8.

[TheAnimesking]

i wonder how the truck itself would have handled some torture

[Scotty6211]

dosent sound like a v6

[Dereks06]

O ok then good lol. 

[Tomcat176]

@Slipknotyk06 I bought my 07 Z-71 Avalanche brand new and after 54k miles am on my 3rd transmission... the first going at about 12.5k miles. I baby NOTHING. EVER. haha

[marklouisjordan]

lol how bout now chevy? We don't hear you talking shit now!!

thumbs up if you agree

[bcboy787]

@marklouisjordan We're not talking shit because we don't need to prove anything to anyone. They're reliable. That's it.

[chamblizi]

@marklouisjordan we the people of ford have no need to talk shit because you chevy users in recent statements by yahoo"MADE THE SHIT LIST" of 2011

[Mabentuna]

@chamblizi

For real, 9 of the 15 vehicles were Chevys, number 1 is the Escalade and the other 5 are Jeeps! Way to use our fuckin tax dollars GM!!

[chamblizi]

@Mabentuna thats why i dont fuck with gm or chevy i had a GM was garbage i had a chevy head gasket blew up from normal condition driving Got my first Ford  STILL RUNNING 407K miles now had her for 3 going 4 years going to put a camper on her and make her my home

[kamaster1011]

@marklouisjordan thrumbs down all the way down.

[kpdsza]

@marklouisjordan What would you expect from "Government Motors"!!!

[Bobbo63]

@marklouisjordan cause chevy was the third that never finished.

[thegreatcb7]

funny how truck manufacturers dont think of these things...TURBO=TORQUE and fuel efficiency you dont need a 7.0l gas engine to power a truck

[thegreatkingdaniel]

I love this series, and I'm really digging the F150's EcoBoost. But why oh why are they dubbing in V8 exhaust sounds? The only times it sounds like a V6 is between 1:10-1:16, and at the very end.

[supersnot4]

Great engine, I'm really impressed. For everybody who's whining about the trannys, that's not what the test was about. This was about getting people to believe that a V-6 can perform as good, and be just as reliable, as a V-8. Ford uses the same tranny for all 4 of its engines anyway.

But even then, they only went through 2 trannys. One in the logging/nascar track F-150, and one in the Baja 1000 truck. And that's only because you usually want a manual in the Baja 1000.

[Dereks06]

@supersnot4 Wait they went through two transmissions??? Where did you read that? That's a serious game changer for me. The logging nascar truck didn't even go that many miles. And that means the Baja transmission only made it 1072miles. 

[supersnot4]

@Dereks06 Of course they went through 2 transmissions. They didn't blow 2 transmissions, they used 2 different ones. The first one was a normal f-150 transmission. They had to switch because the baja truck has its own transmission. But I'd bet you would have no problem with a stock transmission in the baja 1000

[pfun41]

@BumbleBeeGS idk about newer ones but the older ones were susceptable to heat but otherwise not bad.

[Slipknotyk06]

@BumbleBeeGS - Every once in a while you have something roll off the assembly line where when one component was installed, the worker was in a foul mood and didn't do the best of jobs. My dad blew a Chevy Aveo motor at 16,000. Generally speaking, I've seen those transmissions last 175K

As a vehicle depreciates, so do the tendencies of the owner. A brand new car is going to be babied, and a vehicle out of warranty trashed, because the owner cannot afford to take the car in every time it squeaks.

[Slipknotyk06]

@BumbleBeeGS through much of these tests, it has been attached to the same transmission. And I don't really know if that's Ford's weak point. I owned a Ranger. I never had the slightest of problems even at mileages from 196K-236K and according to the Carfax there was never a rebuild.

[XXLVenom999]

Great! Build tough!

[SoinoSkater]

What a great engine, high mpg and extremely fast and agressive!

[chamblizi]

@SoinoSkater like a night of very good sex
