Driving the 2010 Ford Flex with EcoBoost

We've already spent a week in the Ford Flex - and like it a lot. It's a comfortable, spacious sector-buster which features really interesting exterior design language. The only issue we had with it, was that it seemed to be crying out for a bit more power, and drank fuel (it's not exactly a light beast). So by fitting it's new turbo-charged, direct-injection V6 "EcoBoost" engine to the car, Ford hopes to remedy that. Eric (aka Rumblestrip) finds out whether it's done the trick...

@jlrmywork it is not available on the 2009, just 2010 and newer models.

is the eco boost technology only available on the 2010 flex models or the 2009 has it too?
