The Ford EcoBoost Engine Now Available at Crossroads Ford LINCOLN

Online, May 3, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Crossroads Ford LINCOLN is pleased to announce the availability of the Ford EcoBoost engine. The EcoBoost engine delivers a combination of performance and fuel efficiency that was previously unattainable.

Although advancements in the technology related to hybrid and electronic vehicles are seemingly advancing daily, the vast majority of vehicles worldwide are still gasoline powered. Ford's EcoBoost gas-turbo direct-injection engines can provide drivers with an improvement of up to 20% in fuel economy. The EcoBoost engine is also able to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 15%. Ford has pioneered a technology that is immediately applicable, on a global scale, toward the preservation of the environment.

The EcoBoost Engine is able to increase engine performance through turbo power and direct injection. Turbo power is able to increase horsepower and torque by using energy from the engines exhaust, which would otherwise be wasted, to rotate the turbine wheel. The turbine is paired with a compressor that pressurizes incoming air, which significantly increases the output of the engine. Direct injection delivers fuel precisely for improved volumetric efficiency and increased performance.

The Ford EcoBoost engine is available on five Ford models, all of which will be carried by Crossroads Ford LINCOLN: the 2013 Explorer, 2013 Taurus, 2013 Flex, 2013 Edge and 2012 F-150.
The benefits of the Ford EcoBoost engine are prominent in the 2012 Ford F-150. Equipped with the EcoBoost engine the Ford F-150 is capable of towing 11,300 lbs, 420 lb.-ft. of torque, and hauling a payload of 3,060 lbs. Those marks rank higher than any other light-duty truck in the United States, and F-150 is still able to get a best-in-class 22 miles per gallon on the highway.
