A 2011 Ford F-150 EcoBoost™ engine will take on the demanding Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 long-distance desert endurance race later this year, marking Ford’s EcoBoost engine racing debut. Ford trucks have won more Baja 1000 titles (13) than any other four-wheel manufacturer
Ford will equip the F-150 off-road race truck with the same stock EcoBoost engine that already has experienced 150,000 equivalent miles of dyno testing and other real-world tests as the final step in the durability torture tests
The EcoBoost truck engine is tested to the equivalent of more than 1.6 million total miles of harsh customer use in the lab, in test cells and on the road
The new F-150 EcoBoost has 420 lb.-ft. of torque – more than any competitive half-ton truck – and provides an unequaled combination of capability and fuel economy
Racing the EcoBoost truck engine under these conditions, which include temperature swings from just above freezing to well above 100 degrees, harsh terrain and at least 30 hours driving the course, helps validate the testing of the new truck engine

TORTURE TESTING OF NEW ECOBOOST TRUCK ENGINE FOR 2011 FORD F-150 SHOWCASED IN WEB DOCUMENTARIES
A series of web-based documentaries will take viewers inside the extreme testing of Ford’s new EcoBoost™ truck engine coming to the 2011 F-150; go to fordvehicles.com/2011F150 (http://fordvehicles.com/2011F150)
to see firsthand how the new class-leading EcoBoost truck engine performs on the dynamometer and then in extreme real-world tests
The EcoBoost truck engine is tested to the equivalent of more than 1.6 million total miles of harsh customer use in the lab, in test cells and on the road
Upcoming web documentaries will show the new EcoBoost engine – chosen randomly
off the assembly line at Cleveland Engine Plant – pulling, towing and racing in extreme
real-world tough-truck tests to prove what it means to be Built Ford Tough
The videos are narrated by Mike Rowe of the popular Dirty Jobs series
Specially tuned for the 2011 F-150, the EcoBoost engine will deliver 365 horsepower and a best-in-class 11,300 pounds towing, 3,060 pounds payload and 420 lb.-ft. of torque combined with the fuel economy of a V6
Also on fordvehicles.com/2011F150 (http://fordvehicles.com/2011F150) are video animations depicting key technology features of the four all-new engines coming to the 2011 F-150: the 3.7-liter V6, 5.0-liter V8, 6.2-liter V8 and EcoBoost. This is the most extensive engine makeover in the history of Ford F-Series
