sweet....thx birdy

[King Cobra]

+1 Very nice pics of all the engines.

[Birdman]

NOTE: I added two new pics of info in post #1 describing the technical features of the new Ford 3.5 EcoBoost engine

[Carnut]

Only if I can get rid of the six cylinder stigma. I think the last 6 I owned was a 93 F-150.

I wonder how it sounds?

[mustang loco]

thx for posting this birdy:tiphat2:

[Iceman]

I wonder if the eco boost will make into the raptor. You are not giving up much and for the majority of the people driving the Raptor it seems like it would be a really good option at least......For me an ecoboose 6.2 would be good :)

The Caddy was our rental while Beth's Infiniti got paintwork prior to trade in for an unfortunately timed golfball strike. :doh:


Oh, and..................excuse the pollen.......tis the season down here and since the paperwork was done at 8pm last night and we hadn't agreed on trade prior to my arrival, they didn't do the detail on it for me (Beth can bring it in whenever....likely when the mudflaps come in.......for detailing and in the meantime, I made them detail my car as part of the process. I hope they hit the battery terminals.......). :grin:

More shots to come later.

[Birdman]

Yes get that thing detailed.....and hurry I want screen saver shots...:popcorn:

Don't forget engine comp and interior pics too...:waiting:

Hint: the long pedal to the right doesn't need to pushed all the way to the carpet all the time. :unsure:






:rofl:

[Tommy Gun]

:hey2:


It's been on cruise control for 8 hours at 75 mph....it should be getting better although we are just over 1000 miles....

Sounds like you got a dud.

You can give it to me.



I'll trade you for a slightly used minivan. :look:

[Birdman]

:hey2:


It's been on cruise control for 8 hours at 75 mph....it should be getting better although we are just over 1000 miles....

I've taken mine on about three long trips now, CT to Pittsburgh 20mpg, CT to Lake george NY 18.5(into the mountains), CT to Cape Cod MA 21mpg, (all with the AC on). Average hwy speed w/o cruise control was about 65-70mph.

Average around town MPG is usually 17-17.8 mpg.

Driving style has a lot to do with it IMO.....just sayin :shades:

Take off the emergency brake?

[Birdman]

Try resetting the computer and starting over. I try to keep the rpms around 1800-1900 in 6th gear, seems to work the best there.

yea...that saves gas....:groan:

[Birdman]

:haha:

[VaporDude]

Tell Co-Pilot to keep her foot off the passenger brake. :haha:

[68fastback]

Maybe that 13.8 was while towing the track turd to VIR at 75mph ...and 11K GCVW :haha:

[Tommy Gun]

on the last 4 hours of the trip i think we averaged 80 mph. lol

we made it up to 14.5 mpg.


i think ill try resetting it.

[Gr8snkbite]

and slowing down....:groan:

[Tommy Gun]

I can't help it, it's in my jeans. :look:

[Joe G]

I can't help it, it's in my jeans. :look:

You talkin' about Sharun and AmyB? :yuk:

[VaporDude]

There is only one thing in jeans depending on your sex. I think you meant genes. :grin:

I am offiicially impressed with the EB F-150.

I went to Montana and back flogging it pretty hard, 80-85 mph, mountain grades and higher altitude. The acceleration was absolutely impressive going up a 6 percent grade a 6000 feet with three guys, their luggage and other junk.

We only managed to get about 19 mpg average for the trip, which I think is excellant given the speeds we were driving.

[Gr8snkbite]

:wtg:

Did you get one or was this test drive...

[Carnut]

:wtg:

It belongs to my brother who also went on the trip.

Very nice. Do you know what rear end gearing it had?

That's pretty darn good! :wtg: My 4.0 Ranger X-cab is 2000# lighter, smaller, and less than 1/2 the HP and still only gets the same mpg at 80.

[Carnut]

Very nice. Do you know what rear end gearing it had?

Not sure, think it is 2.80 or close to that.

[Joker]

Not sure, think it is 2.80 or close to that.

I think the only offer 3.15, 3.31, 3.55, 3.73 and 4.11's.

3.55 seems to be the most popular choice from what I have read.

Either way, that's a good trip.
