TXWhitetail has that info. Pretty good numbers. There was a thread a few months back about the Eco boost here. Google Eco boost Texas fishing forum it should pop up.

How will the transmission hold up? About the same as the tranny in any other 1/2 ton truck-

IF IF IF something were to happen to your truck (transmission/engine) inside the window stated in the manual and you were towing, all they have to do is look at your computer to see whether or not you were in fact towing and they can deny the warranty.
Man up. Fight the GOOD fight.

X2 I have always abided by the breakins, and I have never had an engine or transmision issue with any vehicle I have ever owned.

My boat is a 21ft. boat and it weighs 4000#. I tow it with an Ecoboost and if I want to stay around 65 mph, I can get around 17 mpg on trips from Austin to Amistad. If I kick it up to 70-80, it drops off to around 14.5 depending on the terrain.

Thanks for the post good to hear that the Eco Boost isn't going to drink away fuel as bad as some say. I'll know next week when I go deep down south.
