Any F150 Ecoboost owners on here?

Wondering how you guys are liking these trucks?  Are they living up to your expectations?  Any motor issues?

not personal but a friend has one, about 18 months or so, says he has never gotten better than 14mpg, but likes the power.
I know heresay!!

We run 2 at work.  Wont buy anymore.  Mileage is not what is advertised and the power isn't as impressive as we had hoped. 
Very nice trucks otherwise, comfortable and a nice ride.

Reports from customers are pretty much the same.
Not as great gas mileage as they expected. They do good if you drive them like your grandma drives. They do good on the highway. Keep the turbo's un-spooled and you'll do better. You'll probably see 2-3 more mpg's than the v8's I'd guess.
Early ones(2011) had some intercooler issues. Aside from that they've been solid mechanically. They run really nice and smooth which is nice. Quieter and smoother than the v8's if that's a factor. The v8's are nice and smooth running too though.

I've got a '12 Crew Lariat.   Ride is great and tons of get-up-and-go.   Tows really well too.

Only downside is fuel economy.   I average right around 16 with stock wheels and tires.

Reviews seem right in line with what I have read and heard from the few people I know with one..  At this point I am more concerned with quality of the truck.  The concept was excellent on Ford's part, power when you need it and fuel economy when you don't, wish the would have delivered better.  On some of the f150 forums the range seems to be 14-19 on stock set ups, that's a heck of a lot better than my Hemi!

They really need to add a hair dryer to the coyote in the new f150! I have driven a ecoboost a bit andit was alright... felt about like my chev 1500 for power. Seems around same mpg also.

I've gotten about 17mpg over its first 25k in the last year in the 14' ecoboost that I have for work. I like winding the turbo up while getting on the freeway!

They're  not turbo'd though.
Actually the newest raptor coming out will be ecoboost powered.

Brother in law has a Raptor, they are sweet... and if the Eco boost arnt really getting that great of fuel milage might as well get the big v8. 

It smooths out all the bumps right about 50mph.

There's a few blown Hennessey Velociraptors running around. 600hp. Yowza.
We had this one in our shop a few months ago. It was on top gear last night.
