ranchero Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I've got a '15 FTC shorty that I like very much but . . . . . The stock engine does not have enough guts and I now know the 1.5 ecoboost would have been the better choice. The 6 speed auto transmission is horrible with the stock engine. So for 2017 Ford has eliminated the option to pay for a better engine and the vehicle is still stuck with that transmission that can not handle mountains? The FTC would be a more fun, more useful vehicle with the 1.5 ecoboost and a six speed manual but Ford now offers the vehicle with only the worst possible engine and the worst possible transmission. I'd order a new FTC with a proper engine/transmission but now the Mercedes Metris has gotten me interested. - ranchero - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricks90billblass Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I drove an Escape back in December with the 2.0 EcoBoost in it. It wasn't a screamer, but it could get up to speed quite well with the 240HP under my right foot. I wish Ford would install this engine in the TC! FYI, you cannot get the 1.6 in the LWB's.
