I have an 11 F150 with 3.5 ecoboost. Great little do anything engine.
If driven gently in warm weather, I have averaged as much as 24 mpg, while the factory 21 mpg comes easy if your trying at all to make fuel economy. The other side is that the 3.5 will effortlessly pull much more than a light duty pickup should pull. For two years now, we have been pulling our antique parade and show tractors with this pickup. The trailer is a 28 ft gooseneck tandem with tractors and trailer weighing twice what the pickup is rated to pull. That little 3.5 engine is so good at what it does, that now Ford uses it as the large trailer puller engine for the F150, as the 6.2 V8 has been dropped as unnecessary now for the 15 model. 420 lb/ft torque at only 2500 rpm, while the V8's have to rev into the 4000 rpm range to hit full torque. I watch the Ecoboost forums and so far (5 years) they have been reliable as trailer pullers.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
