Why can't GM offer engines like all the other manufacturers?

My wife a 13 explorer sport with that so called glorified crap-o-boost engine. It gets worse mileage than our 12 suburban, requires premium gas and does not tow worth crap. It is quick but when you hook up to a little trailer it's like a weak little engine. And I'm not a fan of turbo lag in full size vehicles. Be thankful for the V8s.

For real? The navigator is gonna need a lot more than an ecoboost before I'd touch it with a ten foot pole... Yuuuuck

I'm afraid you got swindled...the eco boost does not require premium gas.

The Ecoboost with twin turbos does require premium. Says so on the gas cap. And the owners manual also states its required not recommended.

I don't have one so I cant verify on the gas cap but if you google ecoboost gas octane there are tons of results from f150forum and fordf150.net and they all say 87 but premium is recommended.

You have an ecoboost to confirm this?

That would be a HUGE deal when comparing trucks if the new eco required 91, I'm pretty sure people everywhere would be fussing about this hidden info.

My EXPLORER SPORT did not say that. The engine for the F150 is tuned differently and I'm assuming its because they made it mainstream, it would be a huge negative for the trucks and nobody would want the engine opposed to buying a performance vehicle such as the SHO or Ex Sport.

I had an ecoboost up until last week when I traded it in on a Tahoe.
