Should turn on that start stop feature, might help that fuel economy!
With current prices at 3.85, that might save you ~$200/ year. Assuming 12k miles. You could replace the starter and battery every other year.

Much more horsepower, and much more torque at a much lower RPM than the 5.4 V8. And about the same reliability (my 5.4 had the cam phaser issue although I didn't know what it was at the time).
Ive had both and the ecoboost is like driving a different truck. I do not tow.
I used both engines at sea level up to 14,000 feet.
Here are the stats for the Expedition:
5.4 Triton 310hp at 5,000 RPM. 365lb-ft at 3,600 RPM torque. EPA 12/17
Ecoboost 400hp at 5,000 RPM. 480lb-ft at 3,250 RPM torque. EPA 17/23
The V6 ecoboost numbers are impressive.

Turbos are amazing. The engine sips fuel cause its small but when you want power cram a ton of air and fuel.
In 1910 the Fiat S76 had a 23 Litre 4 cylinder engine putting out 290 HP. With displacement comes massive fuel burn.
Amazing how much power engines today so small can make.
