Any opinions on the new 3.5 v6 ecoboost and the 3.7 v6 engines? I'm thinking of getting an F-150 specifically because of the ecoboost engine.

 

From the writeups I've read, They have been getting good reviews , SO FAR !

 

Ford spent alot of time, money and press on the 3.5 ECOBOOST and I personally believe, they did get this one right.

3.5L ECOBOOST Specs:
365 hp (272 kW) @5500 rpm, 90% 420 lb·ft (569 N·m) @1700-5000 rpm, peak torque at 2500 rpm

3.7L Specs:
Ti-VCT 302 hp (225 kW) at 6500 rpm and 278 lb·ft (377 N·m) at 4000 rpm

Of the 2, I personally would go with the ECOBOOST. If needed, it has a lower RPM "GRUNT" and a better HP/Torque overlap.

I wish they would have had the ECOBOOST for the MKZ. Even if it was an option. I definately would have spent the extra money for it.

But as always, who knows why Ford does what they do.
