Demand for Ford’s EcoBoost engine has continued to increase each month since its release, and has continued to attract customers into Atchley Ford.
Omaha, NE -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/16/2011 -- Ford’s new EcoBoost engines are bringing in new upscale customers, especially males, ranging from 35-55 years of age. According to Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, “The unmatched combination of responsive power and responsible fuel efficiency is attracting new customers to Ford showrooms.” Atchley Ford is excited to show its Omaha customers the benefits of Ford’s EcoBoost engines.
Because of its popularity, Ford recently announced at the New York International Auto Show that the new 2013 Taurus will have the option of two different EcoBoost engines. Buyers will be able to choose either the 2.0-liter four-cylinder or the 3.5-liter V6 for the Taurus SHO.
The 3.5-liter V6 was put into one out of every four F-150 trucks sold during March. The EcoBoost engine has 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. It provides best-in-class towing capabilities of 11,300 lbs and up to 20% fuel economy savings. The 2011 F-150 EcoBoost gets 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. The EcoBoost continues to be in high demand, and Ford has plans to continue adding the EcoBoost engine to their line of vehicles.
Later in the year, a new North American four-cylinder EcoBoost engine will be added to the Explorer SUV and the Edge CUV. The engine will be a 2-liter with 237 horsepower. Next year, Ford will be adding the 2.0-liter to the high-performance Focus ST. Ford plans to continue producing EcoBoost engines and will continue to add them to a variety of vehicles, from trucks to small cars. By 2013 Ford intends to make up to 1.5 million EcoBoost engines globally.
