WTH is Eco-boost? LOL
It is democrat tom foolery!
You can buy your giant pick up and still know you’re helping the environment ><;
And they even have a dude with a deep announcer voice describing Eco-Boost in the commercial, so that we men can rest assured that Eco-Boost is, in fact, manly.
It’s the unfortunate name for one of Ford’s new top of the line engines. A 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 good for 365 horsepower and 420 pounds-feet of torque. It’s an option in top-end F150 pickups, Flex SUVs, and the Taurus SHO sports sedan.
Basically, it gives the power and grunt of Ford’s big truck V8s but the gas mileage of a V6. It’s one hell of a piece of technology and I’ve yet to hear a bad review of one. Unfortunately, Ford stuck it with an “Eco” name.
While I give Ford huge credit for not taking the government cheese the way that GM and Chrysler did, and while they’re probably making the best products of any domestic carmaker right now, their marketing department still pushes the greenie-weenie agenda as hard as anyone. If you go to Ford’s website they really push all the hybrid versions of their cars in your face and talk about how “green” their stuff all is, instead of how well they’re built or how fast they go (or just how good their gas mileage is, etc.).
