I have a 2012 ecoboost. It did that turbocharger stumble thing one time, when I was towing a trailer across north Texas on a rainy day and the transmission downshifted to 4th going up a hill. A few seconds and it went away. If it happened often I would do something about it or at least worry about it! But once in 45k miles is not a problem. From my point of view a good thing about the engine is low end torque, especially towing but also around town.
The best truck I ever had (in terms of "get the job done vs cost") was a used 1972 Dodge 4WD 3/4t with 360 V8 and 4spd. It had a heater, nothing else. Every body panel was dented and rattling but the drive train was like a locomotive. It got about 10-11
mpg no matter what, uphill, downhill, loaded or unloaded.

The truth never gets old.l
It must be really frustrating for you guys to do everything you possibly can to bash a truck yet many of the tests and reports we read the Dodge somehow beats the Ford. Pretty funny watching the desperation grow as you keep repeating the same worn out statements over and over. Might be time to try a different tactic or just accept that some people like the Dodge eco diesel more than the Ford. The act is well beyond worn out.
Kinda like the Ford guys who are still talking about bailout money years since that happened who also completely ignore the billions in taxpayer dollars that Ford accepted as well. They might think they are being cute but we all know the truth so they really aren't' fooling anybody at this point but themselves if they think people take them seriously.

Now this is a true example of a hypocrite. Your sole purpose for entering this Ford related thread is to stir the pot. Now I see you have jumped onto the newest thread with the same intention. Laughing

Nice try but you actually proved my point for me, thanks. I don't bash on any truck brands. That is where the difference between you/DP/etc and I is. I simply point out the bashing that others do but I do not bash on other trucks in any way. My purpose is to stop the unnecessary bashing that people like you are doing to every thread about pickups. We have 18 pages of you guys repeating the same thing over an over about things like diesel costs or payload.
Thanks for pointing out the other thread. It also proves my point. You can read my posts there and see that I am not bashing any brand, just the people who do the bashing. I'm thrilled that GM makes a mid size truck and can't wait for the diesel version to come out next year.

I state facts. If you consider that bashing, so be it. I pride myself for not being untruthful and if I make a mistake, I own up to it. I am not on a hunt to stir the pot as you have displayed. You may want to reread your posts.

Keep up the fine work bashing and I'll keep pointing it out when you do it.
I know you might think you are being sneaky but it's obvious to the rest of us what you are up to. You literally do the same thing almost every day on here. SSDD.

You are not fooling anyone. We can all go back and see that you are simply repeating the same thing over and over, page after page. We all know why you are here and what you are up to. Might try a new tactic as this one is worn out.
