Ford F-150 Torture Test
I searched but didn't find anything.
This is pretty interesting. They beat the hell out of the new V6 ecoboost engine by putting it through a bunch of "real world tests"

- 150k miles on the dyno
- Hauling trees to the top of a mountain
- Nascar track run
- Head to head towing against Chevy and Dodge
- Baja Run

Re: Ford F-150 Torture Test
Great marketing... that new F-150 is going to sell like crazy. A full-size truck that can tow over 10,000 lbs and get mid 20's highway economy is a big deal. Most fullsizes have to be on a flat grade with the wind at their back going 60 to get 19-20.

Re: Ford F-150 Torture Test
last week I was trying to find out how much one costs with an eco boost but couldn't find it as an engine option in the build program. Anyone know the price?
nvm, just went up there and it was there this time, base model with an eco boost is 27k
