Title: new f-150's problems?
Post by: hillbilli on May 14, 2013, 01:02:43 PM: So looking at new trucks and the dealer of course told me "there are no problems with the Ecoboost or the 6 speed transmissions".. My internet research doesnt exactly point in the same direction.. So how many of you all have or have had 2009 or newer f-150's with these problems?

We've had some issues with the intercoolers on the Ecoboost trucks but they've updated them and the new trucks have the latest greatest parts in them. I've done a couple of them in the last few months, but the trucks were all '11's.

I have noticed a couple of times a delayed shift during quick acceleration, but it did not turn up any codes at the dealership. I am very happy with the power towing. :twocents:

You could do that with any manufacturer.
Just like bows, rifles, pistols, etc.
