How Fast is the F150 2.7 Ecoboost? 0-60 Times Anyone?

Performance and Tuning
1

I’ve been looking into the performance of the Ford F-150 with the 2.7L Ecoboost engine and I’m particularly interested in its acceleration metrics.

Some Questions I Have:

  • What is the average 0-60 time for the 2.7 Ecoboost?
  • How does it compare to the 5.0L V8 or other engine options?
  • Are there any aftermarket modifications that could improve its acceleration?
  • Has anyone done any real-world testing or has there been any reviews comparing these performance specs?

I plan on possibly upgrading to this model and I’m trying to get a sense of how it performs in terms of speed and power. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looking forward to hearing your experiences and thoughts on this!

The F150 2.7 EcoBoost can hit 0-60 mph in about 5.7 seconds, which is quite impressive for a full-size truck. It competes well with others in its class.

That’s faster than many competitors! I’ve compared it to my old Ram, and it really stands out in acceleration.

4

Torque plays a significant role here; the 2.7 EcoBoost has around 400 lb-ft, making it torquey off the line. This helps in achieving those quick 0-60 times.

5

Exactly! It really feels responsive when you step on the gas. It’s great for towing too.

I’ve seen some real-world tests that clock the 2.7 EcoBoost even lower in the 0-60 times under ideal conditions. That makes it compelling compared to the competition!

7

What kind of conditions were they testing under? I’d love to see some of those results!

In comparison, the Chevy Silverado with a 2.7L engine takes a bit longer, usually around 6.0 seconds. The F150 definitely has the edge in speed.

My experience with the 2.7 EcoBoost makes me wonder if it sacrifices power for fuel efficiency. Is the acceleration worth it compared to the traditional V8s?

10

That’s the million-dollar question! The EcoBoost is efficient, but it lacks some of the raw power of V8s.

11

Despite the power debate, I still think it’s impressive to see such a big truck reach 60 mph that fast. Who would’ve thought trucks could do that!

Haha, right? It’s like driving a muscle car but being practical at the same time!

13

Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a truck that balances power and efficiency. I’m definitely leaning towards the F150 after reading all of this!

I’ve had my F150 with the 2.7 EcoBoost for about a year now, and with just a tune, I was able to shave a few tenths off my 0-60 time. Definitely recommend looking into custom tunes!

What kind of tune did you go with? I’ve heard that some programmers can really optimize the EcoBoost’s potential without major mods.

16

I did a Stage 1 tune with SCT Performance. It’s a noticeable difference, especially in throttle response. Just be sure you have a good intake too—it helps with overall airflow.

I’ve also seen people swapping out the stock intercooler for an aftermarket one. Has anyone tried that for better performance? Keen to know the results!

18

Yes, I replaced mine with a Mishimoto intercooler and it made a solid impact on my power gains. Combined with a tune, I hit 0-60 in under 6 seconds!

19

A cold air intake system can also really help with performance. I swapped mine out for aFe and noticed a boost in my low-end torque. It definitely feels more responsive.

I second the cold air intake! The extra airflow really helps with throttle response. I can’t wait to throw a tune on top of that. Can’t believe how much power it unlocked!
