Yah I am pretty leery about the ecoboost numbers. From what I have read on F-150 forums etc it is a real mixed bag on whether you will get good results or not. I have not heard any negative reports on the 5L and know two people who have one. They are both very happy.
Just had a look at that 32 mpg claim. While I don't doubt their numbers I would call it impracticable for me. I am not going to give up safe driving habits (staying with the flow of traffic) for better fuel economy.
Yes I can haul stuff in a trailer, it's just nicer to be able to load stuff on a truck. I have lived with an SUV instead of a truck for over 4 years so I know I can make that work. What I want to figure out is if I can get the vehicle I want instead *AND* end up with decent efficiency without resorting to hobbling said vehicle.
EDIT: I don't quite have these forums figured out yet but where would the best place be to ask about doing these modifications (aero cap, air dam, partial grill block, etc) and what I should reasonably expect after doing them?
