Default EcoBoost???

Was at the Ford dealership today and tryed out the 150 crew with the 3.5 Eco, haveto say I was pleased inwhat I was seeing. Lot's of power, handled well, did not like the big hole in the bumper letting the booster cooler breath, looks like a straight shot for trouble! All in all, thumbs up!
Is there anyone out there that has one broke in yet that wants to tell me what you think? MPG,power,hauling,troubles,ect???Is it worth the time and money? Good and bad , I want to hear it all!! Thank you for your time, Mike

From what I have read in the trade magazines, the engine is great , does wonderful things and all that hype. As you know Ford doesn't make anything with problems ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,maybe its true! Don't know anyone that owns one yet.
You might get a better and more accurate answer from a company that has a fleet of them.
Could the dealer give a possible list of any fleets nearby that have them?
