Test drive new Fords with gas-sipping EcoBoost engines
Ford will be letting consumers take some of its new vehicles for a spin this weekend in Grapevine.
Beginning Thursday afternoon Ford personnel will be demonstrating and allowing consumers to drive both the Ford Explorer and Ford Edge crossover vehicles powered by the four-cylinder 2.0 liter EcoBoost engine.
With direct fuel injection and turbochargers the EcoBoost improves fuel economy up to 20 percent over a 6-cyl. engine but still has the power needed for hauling and pulling when necessary. A 6-cyl. version of the engine is the leading seller in Ford's F-150 pickup lineup.
The event will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoon at the Grapevine Mills Mall, near the Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th and Last Call by Neiman Marcus, at 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway.
To register and reserve a spot to drive one the vehicles go to:
This Eco-Boost engine are quite promising. Ford claims that you get more mileage with a specified reload of gas. I would like to see it on the Ford Fiesta.
