Pure Drag Race – EcoBoost F-150 Make a Strong Case Against Coyote Powered F-150
When it comes to picking out just the right pickup truck or any vehicle for that matter, there are going to be a ton of options and choices that you need to tackle to figure out which you prefer. Now, there’s definitely a hierarchy here that ranges in importance depending on who you are. Some people will rank some factors higher than others and most people have different combinations on their lists. However, even though these lists will all be different, near the top of most of them has to be how the vehicle is going to perform. Whether we’re talking about speed, power, or reliability, what’s under the hood is usually important to most people who are sinking their money into a new vehicle.
With that in mind, we can’t help but make comparisons of all shapes and sizes. Ford made it even tougher when they made the decision to start putting a twin turbocharged V6 application in their full-size pickup trucks right alongside the 5.0L V8. Now, in this day and age, it seems like everything is getting more and more efficient so it really can lead you to wonder if you should pick the V8 or the boosted V6. I mean, both have similar numbers when it comes to how they perform on paper, in terms of both power and torque, but I guess that what you’re actually going to be doing with the truck and your personal preference might help you to whittle down those numbers into a formula that makes sense for your personal application.
In this one, we take a look at the difference between the different offerings in the Ford F-150. You can choose to either go with the EcoBoost application or the V8 application and in this one, the comparison at hand is centered around a drag race. Now, if you’re buying a truck like this, I’m not too sure how much of a bearing a drag race will have on your decision to pick one over the other, however, when you see the EcoBoost hanging right in there with the bigger displacement application, it might just make you take a second look at what you’re getting.
