Pros- going to be addicted to the massive TQ
con- you will forget you have a 5200lbs boat behind you as the EcoBeast surges up the hill past the speed limit lol
pro- you get to pull a bigger boat than your friend
con- you will have wait at the boat launch for your buddy as he is still working his way up the last hill
lol
no really issues with the truck bro! Congrats and welcome... Some folks have had the rare issues with condensation build up in the intake causing shuttering at certain speeds this is due to high humidity and a over effective intercooler. Again rare situation and if you haven't felt it (pretty pronounced shutter) doubt you have the issue. Not to worry as ford has addressed it and is ensuring trucks that are affected are fixed. It's a solid truck with a overbuilt motor that gets betters as it ages.

F150 Ecoboost ChatSo I'm driving home today from a 200 mile trip and came to a light right in from of my neighborhood and get on it about half throttle and I feel a slight mis.

Blown transmission, opinions?
F150 Ecoboost ChatIts been a few years since I've posted here, but I figured this topic was worthy of discussion. About 6 months ago, I grenaded my stock transmission while out in the sand at the beach. I took full responsibility for my own abuse of the truck causing it, after 100,000 miles with no lack of mud...- 4
