Any opinion on the the Ford ecoboost engines ?

Friggin' awesome! 2019 Expy has 3.5 EcoBoost- which is the only engine option and now have almost 20k miles with zero problems.

I'll be curious to see how they are doing in 10 years when many will have 250,000 miles.

yes i think the 5.0 has some history.

Yep, and we all know how that Ford 6.0 Diesel's reputation sits: in a Class Action lawsuit. Admire the guy from Long Beach that opted out and has been awarded $$$.

Then that Mustang GT is pretty wimpy.
I guess you'll be looking to swap in Ford's new 7.3 litre V8...

Actually the new 5.2 ( a bored out 5.0 motor) supercharged Shelby gt 500 would be my next choice 760 HP

Then it looks like supercharging is a replacement for displacement.

I'm happy with the 400+ I have now. I need new rear tires after only 5,000 miles, very expensive to replace also.
