Default Just rolled off the transport

2011 EcoBoost F-150 TT 3.5L V6..... 420+ lbft












These are cell pics in **** lighting... I'll get some better ones. 10.5:1 compression and two small turbos make this thing a mid-range monster even with only 3.5L of displacement and in a crew cab truck. I drove it today myself... And with the 6R80 trans, this thing is always in the sweet spot to make max power. I can't wait to bypass the vac actuated wastegates and see what it's capable of LOL.

I plan on posting up all the Eco-Boost powered vehicles as they roll thru.

We've got a guy at the shop with a 08 5.3 CCSB truck with just a quick tune in it by me, we plan on running them, and probably my 4.8 ext cab too...

You'll be able to spot them on the road by the offset front license plate, They set it to the side for the air/air charge cooler... Which is pretty good size

I dont think so, this year anyway. There hasnt been any mention of it anywhere...



Edit, i just built one on ford.com and it will allow it if you put an 8ft bed on the reg-cab....

Which kinda defeats the purpose lol

They will allow it with the short bed in the kinda halfass regular cab with the tiny rear doors. I saw a motor trend vid somewhere that had them running really impressive times for a bone stock truck on street tires. I hate to admit it but GM is going to have to step their **** up.

Scott, you can barely hear them if you've got the radio off and it's a quiet stretch of road... I'm sure once the Y pipe is unbolted they'll make a little more noise, and breathe better

That would definitely be a contender for my next truck if I had the dough to buy brand new. Still not a fan of the headlights but the rest of the truck is damn nice, and the AC seats are just amazing...
