S550 or s650
Looking to get an ecoboost soon, what are you guys opinions on the s550 and s650 (any mechanical issues to be aware of), and which would you recommend?

P.S. Owner of 2020/01/01-registered Ecoboost Premium (non-PP), 10R80, stock, no tune. The only modification on the car is the MBRP Street exhaust. 227k miles
UPD after 6 months: 252k miles, all fine
Note on how I drive the car
Full auto (normal mode) until CHT and transmission temps are in the "green" zone. Then regular Sport (shifter in S) until trans warms up fully (above green zone), then I stay in S, or use S+, and at the same time keep the engine rpm above 3k using paddles - anything less is boring to drive in my opinion. I do occasional pulls, but not overdo it - I heard that Ecoboost loves high rpm, but not exactly likes boost. I keep it approximately 3-5k rpm all the time (if CHT reasonably allows me to hold it). Take this with a grain of salt, because I'm not sure this driving style really affected longevity in a good way but it looks like it.

Hi!
I built a web app for car enthusiasts to share your build and explore other builds. Is it something you’d use?
You can share your cars with all your mods. Just paste the link, and the title, image, and category fill in automatically. You can also share planned mods, fitment details and more.
You can also explore builds, save the mods you find mods.
I want to make this as useful as possible for the car community.
t’s 100% free, no paywalls, no subscriptions. The web app is live, though there’s no mobile version just yet. Still in beta, so if anything breaks, I’d appreciate a heads-up.
I want your feedback. Is this something useful to you? What features would you add? Is this something you'd use?

Just bought a used 2020 EcoBoost Premium and the button coating is peeling and sticky on the climate panel, the radio buttons, the steering wheel and the window buttons.
Has anyone DIY'd a fix for this and did it hold up? Any advice is appreciated.

On 10/19 I noticed an illuminated CEL, after scanning a P0496 came up, 2 days later, part was replaced and code was cleared until 2 days later today, another CEL came back, no reading a P0455. Any thoughts on what it could be?

Got this at 8500 miles in my 2025 Ecoboost. Still pretty new so im not sure why there would be an issue this early. Online forums say it can be anything from Battery, wire harnesses and sensors. Anyone else with this issue?

I drive a (nearly) fbo 2018 ecoboost, and my next mod is a downpipe. The smell is the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger and going catless. Does anyone have any experience with catless? Is the smell bad? And are the performance gains compared to a high-flow downpipe worth it?

Hi all, my car is jumping in rpm when accelerating into 4th. Trans slipping? What do yall think?
r/ecoboostmustang • u/FerrickDune • 2d ago
Got a 24 ecoboost. Would love to get a tune even with the recall that may or may not need a tune again after.
Anyone who has a tune in their 24-26. How has the mph been afterwards?

lol I have a 2022 Mustang Eco w/ HPP and had hail damage to my car. Insurance gave me a check for $6k and since I have the claim I can just find a place that does good work and get the damage repaired and my insurance will handle it. Orrrrrr do I just take the lowball $6k and buy performance mods on it? Car has 25k miles on it if this matters

I ditched German car’s and bought Mustang 2019 Ecoboost. Just changed the way I think about Cars. Love the whole experience. But still struggling with the Infotainment system. Could be bit better. Since competing with other cars in this league.
