I'm so close to trading my baby in on an Ecoboost.
The main reason is for better fuel economy.
But I'm hoping for better then 14-15 towing. I hope if I do this, I'm not disappointed.
If I sell my truck it would cost a fortune to replace, if the Ecoboost doesn't work out.
The dealer said I could take my boat on the test drive with me, but I'm wanting to get an idea of long term mpg.
I don't tow a lot of wieght, but I tow it frequently. About 3k lbs max, loaded up.
I went from an 04 Hemi 1500 to this 06 2500 Cummins, and love the torque and how well it pulls, but other than that its too much truck for around town driving.
And I only get 13-14mpg. I'd love to get over 15 when towing my boat.
I'm thinking the Hemi vs Ecoboost, the Hemi is junk, but I'm hesitant putting it up against my Cummins
From what you guys are saying it sounds like I'd be close on the mpg.
What do you guys think? Am I just dreaming that I could get a truck that tows like my Cummins, gets 18+ around town & 15+ towing the boat to the lake?
I'd level the Ecoboost (not lift) and put more aggressive tires, but hardly oversized if at all.
But thats it, no mods, I just got a quote of just under $50k for what I want, there's no way in holy hell that I have the eggs to gamble the warranty on that price tag!
Here's what I have now;
