Vehicle description
2012 FORD 150, with the technically advanced 3.5L EcoBoost V6, which uses a pair of small turbochargers to give the power of a V8 under demand but the fuel economy of a V6 when just tooling around town with no load. With the use of small turbos, there is no noticeable lag in power because they spool up to speed very easily. With 365 horsepower at 5,000 rpm on regular fuel, the power curve is quite similar to a larger displacement engine.

Ford spent millions developing their EcoBoost engine and have been placing the twin-turbocharged power plant in many of their vehicles, both cars and trucks. In the case of the F-150, it makes for a natural choice for a medium-duty truck. That includes civilians like you and me who use a truck for daily driving and occasional loads or trailer hauling to the cottage or lake.
The power from the EcoBoost is well suited to the work done with the average pick-up truck, but it is a $1,250 option. Let’s be honest and admit that most times you see trucks with no cargo or load at all, so why have a big motor burning lots of fuel when it’s not needed? The EcoBoost can help alleviate this conundrum but there’s no getting away from physics and thermodynamics; it takes energy to move an object.
Engine: 3.5L V6 Power: 365 horsepower, 420 foot-pounds of torque
Transmission: six-speed automatic Seats: six Pros: muscular exterior styling, modern dash and instruments, EcoBoost engine
From Autotrader article: Defying the longstanding truck tradition of normally aspirated V8 power, Ford’s F-Series team took a chance and added twin turbochargers to the company’s workhorse 3.5-liter V6. Turns out truck buyers are willing to take a chance, too: the F-150 EcoBoost has been a strong seller from day one. We recently spent some quality time with a 2012 Ford F-150 EcoBoost SuperCrew, and here are our five reasons why this groundbreaking truck deserves a spot in your fleet. 1. Awesome Power Ford knew there would be plenty of EcoBoost doubters out there, so it had to knock the power delivery out of the park. The numbers alone are pretty impressive: 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, besting Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 (360 hp, 380 lb-ft) on both counts. But what really sets the EcoBoost apart is that all 420 lb-ft are available from just 2,500 rpm, so whether you’re accelerating up a grade or simply passing on the highway, downshifts are optional-there’s plenty of force on tap. 2. Top-Notch Towing and Hauling The EcoBoost engine excels in work truck scenarios, too. Again, let’s start with the numbers: maximum towing capacity is 11,300 pounds, while the payload rating checks in at 3,060 pounds. If that sounds like a lot, well, that’s because it is. The 5.0-liter V8 we mentioned before is limited to 10,000 pounds in the trailer test, and even the range-topping 6.2-liter V8 merely matches the EcoBoost at 11,300 pounds, while neither V8 can beat that 3,060-pound payload. In other words, the EcoBoost V6 isn’t just a V8 replacement; it’s actually an improvement. 3. Impressive Fuel Economy Grunt is all well and good, but what about the "Eco" part? Has Ford delivered on the promise of superior fuel economy? The answer is yes, albeit barely. Our 2012 F-150 EcoBoost SuperCrew test truck is EPA rated at 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway, while the same truck with the 5.0-liter V8 yields 15/21 mpg. At an annual rate of 12,000 miles, that means you’ll save roughly 40 gallons per year. Keep in mind, though, that an EcoBoost-equipped F-150 generally costs more. 4. Serious Passenger Space One look at this truck’s three-across back seat will prove that the SuperCrew designation is no joke. There’s enough room back there for a trio of lanky cowboys to stretch out and cross their boot-clad legs. In fact, we consider the four-door F-150 SuperCrew a viable alternative to family sedans and crossovers if your lifestyle demands the functionality of a truck. 5. Upscale Interior With all the excellent trucks on the market right now, it’s easy to conclude that one model’s as good as the next. But every time we hop into an F-150, we’re reminded that Ford went above and beyond with this truck’s interior design. From the chrome-ringed vents and gauges to the available leather upholstery and touchscreen navigation system, this truck does a strong impression of a luxury car once you’re inside. What it means to you : If you asked us to find a fly in this 2012 Ford F-150 EcoBoost SuperCrew’s ointment, we might be here for a while. That’s how good this truck is all around. Drive it; we think you’ll like it.
