I had never heard of the ecoboost until now, just googled it and it looks great

Nice looking truck and boat

The ecoboots pulls great, still to new to suggest the best MPG it will do but dry I'm averaging 16 and pulling the boat it's more like 12, I expect that to climb by 4 or 5 by 10K miles though.

The FX4 black paint and red decals looks killer with my red and black A20 (I think).

Traded my 2010 Camaro SS and 2005 Toyota Tundra plus $400 for the 2012 F150 FX4 ..no regrets

Are those ecoboost engines realistically supposed to increase mileage that much after a "break in"? The power and torque for the ecoboost seems very impressive for the gasser truck guys. From all the other ecoboost owners on Wakeworld everyone seems very satisfied. I keep my trucks for 250,000-350,000 miles so no gas engines for me...strictly diesel (plus I love the rattle of the Cummins). Good looking truck with the bigger tires/wheels.

Hey five...the wheels on the trailer are the old gear wheels that came with the trick out trailer in 2011...oh yeah I like them too..but decided to go with rockstars on the truck...to give it a different look...later I may decide to trade out the wheels on trailer but for now I like the difference in look haha

I'm getting about 13 towing atm...that's with a full tank of gas and the bigger tires than stock...I only have 650 miles on the truck atm...but I do hear after break in it should get better...non pulling it looks like anywhere from 18 to 27..I see my mpg meter jump up and down depending on highway and city..

The power is sweet....its just weird to see how much power the little twin turbo v6 can do...but I'm heading to lake havasu and parker az tomorrow for the centurion wake world surf championships tomorrow...and get to see how much highway mpg I'm getting...its a 2 to 3 hr drive....not towing my tow up there because a buddy wants to bring his MC xstar with him...should be fun..I hear there is all kinds of bars on the river haha....
