having a look at the ford website and a brochure, it seems that you cannot get the 2.7 ecoboost with 4x4 in most of the trim levels. and the 2.7 is not even available in lariat, etc.?
thought it was touted as the little engine that could?
I was pondering giving it a shot if I bought a new one, now its looking like I cant?!?

I just built a XLT Crew with 4x4 and 2.7 and a Lariat Crew with 4x4 and 2.7. You have to change the options like a 5.5' box etc. if you play around with it long enough you can get what you want. If you really can't get it to where you want on the site call your dealer and ask if they can configure it that way IRL.

thanks.
yes you're right. I went back and tried again. cant get it with the 6.5' box and screw and 4x4. but can get it with 5.5' box and screw and 4x4....
or any of the above combos with 4x2...
seems weird to me.
screw with 6.5' box is not that common but it is the ideal combo in my mind.
not at the point of wasting dealers time yet, so I didn't bother calling/talking with them.

My 2013 FX4 4x4 was a Supercrew with a 6.5 ft box, ordered no problem, but it had the 5.0L. Things may have changed though, but that was a good configuration, depends on your needs I suppose.

Love the 6.5ft box. Much more functional the 5.5ft on most SCREWS.

I always feel a bit sad when I remember that the 2.7, exactly half of my 5.4 has more power.

yes but you cannot get that combo with the 2.7 which I find odd

never thought of it that way....it is pretty crazy

 

[I like Fords Too]

to be fair though the 5.4 should get a couple of turbos before compareing them

turbos ARE the replacement for displacement .. big time

 

[herbz]

In response to the actual topic it appears you cannot get a Supercrew 4x4 w/6.5ft box and a 2.7L. It defaults to a 5.0L.

5.5ft box or get a Supercab and you can get a 2.7

It's a sign, get a V8. :grin2:

You'll get better gas mileage too, and it'll last longer. :laugh::haha:

not sure I believe that the 5 litre would get better gas mileage, but that's irrelevant...
theyre trucks, they all suck.
and if I go forward, it would be a company vehicle. so I DGAF how long it lasts.:grin2:

 

[SVT4MT]

Now now, its all relative, no one buys a truck for gas mileage, aerodynamics alone work against you, never mind the engine.

Sorry, that was just my bias against the Ecoboost showing, at least I can admit I have a problem right?

Just love my V8's too much.

 

[5pointslow]

i know of your love of the ecoboosts.
found it funny though that you of all people brought up gas mileage though.
but in all honesty, real world, 5L seeing better mileage than 2.7?
haven't made the leap to the American forums yet to do any sort of research.

In the real world it seems the 2.7 is quite good. The 5.0 not as much but better than the 3.5 in the 2011-2014 trucks I'm sure it's the same in the 15+.

Towing wise the 5.0 was better than the 3.5 by a couple MPG.

Hey
well I'm just past the month and half of my new truck.
and not much highway driving just mainly stop and go. so far I'm at 11.2/100km my fusion was around 9.2ish same driving conditions
and yes I didn't get it for the gas mileage
so I guess that it really depends on what your gonna do with the truck . I for example know Im not towing but wanted another truck as we decided not to downsize to a condo so having a truck again for my property comes in handy for now. Gonna do some road trips this summer and will see how the gas mileage holds up, but I know it's not my 2013 fusion so I'm not expecting much.
anyone with 5L city driving give some info on how much gas it uses.
as stated above these are trucks but it's nice to get a little more km here and there

As of Monday we pick up our 2.7L, only been 9.5 weeks waiting for it to come in. I'm leaving behind a 2.7L car that is NA for this guy, pretty excited to be back into a truck. We test drove in Newmarket but ended up buying from a dealer in Durham region. I see you are in Bradford, did you get it from around here? We are newmarket.

Apples to oranges, we're talking gas, not diesel.

Besides that, you're breaking the law by driving over the posted limit, not to mention by using your cell phone while driving. lol

lol
the words closed test course come to mind ..

Is that the Ram? How is it on DEF while towing?
