I love my ecoboost. I can pull out into traffic and not worry about the guy behind me slamming into my boat, because I can out accelerate many of the cars on the road while hauling 2 tons behind me. The torque is incredible on that motor. Not to mention, climbing a hill I'm not downshifting and bouncing off the rev limiter like a small block v8 sometimes will. I sit right at 2200 RPMS or so so with the turbos hissing and climbing the hill no problem because all of my torque is available right there.
