Twin 60mm turbos set the pace for a strong street friendly truck that can run with the best at the track. Swapping out the Direct injection F-150 engines shoot fuel directly into the cylinder/combustion chamber instead of shooting it above the chamber and above the valves (which is port fuel injection). We’ve been in luxury cars that aren’t as quiet.This second-generation EcoBoost is technically advanced, too, using a compacted-graphite iron block (high strength but lightweight) and employing both direct and port fuel injection.A new lightweight cam and dual-chain cam drive design saves weight and reduces parasitic friction loss, while a new electrically actuated wastegate provides more accurate turbo boost control.Also new is high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation, as well as a variable-displacement oil pump that is electronically controlled to modulate oil flow based on need to further reduce parasitic losses.Finishing off the advancements is Ford’s segment-exclusive SelectShift 10-speed automatic transmission, whose frequent shifting, barely noticed, keeps the twin-turbo V-6 constantly in its happy place.This engine “plays much bigger than it is,” editor Bob Gritzinger writes on his scoresheet.Although a growing number of customers pay unflinchingly for premium pickup trucks costing more than $60,000, it’s comforting to see the sticker for this well-equipped F-150 under $45,000.No wonder the 2.7L is now the most popular engine in America’s most popular pickup truck. The high-output twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 features an entirely new design that delivers power and performance in a stronger, smarter package.
At running speed, the cabin is tomb-like quiet – perhaps one of the engineering benefits of placing a small V-6 in a massive engine compartment. This overlap allows new fuel to mix with the escaping exhaust gasses, which improves torque and improves emissions.
Ford replaces the F-150's twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 with a new twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, and pairs it with a new 10-speed automatic transmission.
Independent testing from various outlets have found it got around 16 mpg average in real world testing conditions. The only real issue with the EcoBoost F-150 is with the direct injection in the engine. The best-selling F-150, with its redesigned and excellent 395-hp 5.0L naturally aspirated V-8, has a specific output of only 78 hp/L.Take a step down Ford’s product hierarchy, and it’s the F-150 with the heavily revised 2.7L twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 that now makes specific output a relevant spec among pickups. The high-output Ford EcoBoost V6, incidentally, makes the 2019 F-150 the most powerful light-duty truck on the market. Free Shipping On Orders Over $75.

We decided to only supply our ceramic ball bearing units with this turbo system. By the way, Ford’s new 2.7L EcoBoost produces more torque than General Motors’ venerable 5.3L V-8 – an engine nearly twice the size – in the Chevrolet Silverado.It’s not just the numbers that leave us smitten with the 2.7L EcoBoost.
Looking at RYE’s success, we decided to implement the same twin-EFR boosting strategy in our 2013 F150 Freak-O-Boost. Informa PLC's registered office is 5 Howick Place, London SW1P 1WG.
To put that into perspective, the V8 5.0L F-150 has a payload capacity of 3,300 pounds and a towing capacity of 11,100 pounds.Both the 2.7L and 3.5L version of the EcoBoost F-150 offer a good bit of power and acceleration out of the factory, however they both can benefit from some simple mods that will improve overall performance.
That number matches the grunt of Ford’s new 5.0L V-8, although the smaller 2.7L V-6 reaches peak torque at a much lower engine speed – 2,750 rpm vs. 4,500 rpm with the V-8.And torque is what pickup drivers really value, when towing boats or campers or hauling a bed full of gravel.
