jerry in pitt pa Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi, Picked up my new 2013 Taurus SEL with 2.0L ecoboost last Saturday, test drove a 3.5L & 2.0L and can't really tell the difference, getting about 30 mpg on highway. Ford is rebating $4250 on Taurus & the dealer discounted another $1750, $6K under msrp/sticker is a good deal! This car is replacing my 93 Town Car, my other ride is a 2011 F150 5.0L. So the Taurus is a down size for me, also a mpg increase! Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Welcome! :welcome: Our EBOF family is expanding daily, so it's great to have you on board. I can't think off hand, if we have any 2.0L EB owners here yet :noidea: I do believe you are the 1st. That said, engine bay pics for sure, as well as any specs you may be able to provide, would be downright awesome! :thumb: We look forward to your involvement here, and hearing all about your experiences with that boosted SEL.

griggs95 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Welcome Jerry! If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get that car for? I'm trying to get one of my family members to get one of these and of course we'd love to see some pics :RpS_thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tss Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Welcome! I have to admit though, when I first read your post, I thought it said you drove a 3.5 Eco and 2.0 Eco and couldn't tell the difference...and I was like "WHAT"??????? Now it makes more sense as I can definitely see an NA 3.5 and 2.0 Eco performing similarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry in pitt pa Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Griggs95 got it for $25.6K, Sticker was $31.6K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travSHO Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Welcome! I really wanted to drive the 2.0 when I got my SHO but they didnt have any yet...but i drove the fusion with the 2.0 and it moved VERY well. The 2.0 seems like it would be a good middle ground between the mpg you want and the performance you NEED! lol. Hopefully Livernois can work out some tunes or something for our little brother!

steve142857 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Welcome aboard! Mike: John scrming focus would Actually be the first 2.0l ecoboost in this forum but Jerry, the OP, is naturally the first Taurus 2.0 eb... I asked Rick about Livernois tuning the 2.0 eb and nothing yet... That would be nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry in pitt pa Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi, have owned my new 13 SEL 2.0L for just over a month, I'm impressed in the 2.0L driveability. Pleanty of power, I tend to take it easy on the gas pedal with a new motor. Have only hit 4000 rpms a few times, acceleration is very good. Would never know its a 4 cyl motor. Have not seen much on tuning this motor, must be to new. A 300 hp tune would be great! If anybody hears of one pass it along Thanks, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griggs95 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Car color choice is very nice, I need to go test drive one of these to see for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcl78 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Welcome aboard! If it came down to getting the 3.5L N/A vs the 2.0 EB, it would be the EB all day long for me too! That is a sweet motor for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
