Ford recently disassembled their torture tested Ecoboost V6 for the whole world to see. Ford claimed to have randomly selected the engine from the assembly line for the torture test. It began with a simulated 150,000 miles on a dyno. After that it was put into a Ford truck to pull a total of 110,000 pounds of timber. After that the truck pulled 11,300 pounds of racecars around Miami Speedway for 24 hours. After that it was put in an uphill towing contest against a Chevy Silverado V8 and a Ram V8. After that it was put into Mike McCarthy’s 7,100-pound F-150 race truck for the Baja 1000 where it placed first in class.
Do you think this test proved Ford has a winner with the EcoBoost platform? Is anyone planning on using one of these for a swap?
