what do you tow 10k lbs with?

i wouldnt be running that ecoboost on 85 octane. asking for trouble and your mileage will increase with a full burn from higher octane fuel.

That is the next experiment

I'd be interested to see how the Ecoboost does with pure gas

does ford recommend higher octane or is all the testing and ratings at 85 octane?

I have heard both good and bad about the warranty. I kind of negotiated it into the cost of the vehicle so it should be worth what I paid for it either way I'm really going to be pleasantly surprised if they pay for any repairs.

Here she is.

Nice truck! Seems like a good way to go, having the extended warranty insurance policy. I think that is what I would do.

Funny how that's only 4 years newer than mine (and 7 years old) but seems really new to me. Of course, everything since '90 seems new, and after 2000 is really new.

they actually recommend 87 with higher while towing for better performance.

I run 87 unless I am towing over 4K lbs

Thanks.. I have the same problem with motorcycles. Anything after 2000 seems new to me for some reason. Stuck in a decade I guess.
