I'm pretty sure some of you Ford F150 owners have the Turbo V-6's and some have the V8's. How do you like them.... pros and cons.... fuel mileage???

3.5 eco boost everyday and twice on Sunday., 375 HP 475 ft lbs of torque get the max tow package and you can tow 13,300 lbs. (I don’t recommend it).
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I had a v-8 and now have a eco boost turbo. I have the smaller one, 2.7l. I have tried to find a reason not to like it and I can’t. I don’t tow heavy but i do tow a lot. Not more than 5000 pound.
It’ll schit n get if you need it to.
I average 19.3 mixed driving. 22 on highway if you keep it at 70 or under.
Camp is where you make it.

I’ve owned both the V8 5.0 and the 3.5 TT eco boost in a super crew 4x4
I LOVE the 3.5 ecoboost
But there aren’t any flies on the 5.0 , I just like the twin turbo better. As far as fuel mileage , the 3.5 is slightly better.

I got the 5.0 V-8 in my 2017 F-150. Had I found a truck I liked that had the 3.5 Ecoboost, I'd taken it. I like the 5.0, and get 19 MPG everyday driving.

6 cylinder trucks are as feminine as a .270 winny 6.5 Creedmore. When were you born, asking such a question? Fixed it.
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right.

Is that a Turbo?
How long do turbines last and what's a rebuilt one cost?

Ive had both and will take the 3.5l all day long. Have a 16 with 99k miles. Just put a 93 octane tune, CAI, and 170 degree thermostat and holy get up and go Batman..... Cheap HOP and Torque gains for less than $900. Nothing wrong with stock 3.5l but I wanted to open it a bit more. The internals of the 3.5l will handle up to 550 HP.
