Unleash the Beast: 17-20 F-150 3.5L V6 Ecoboost Drivetrain Upgrades

The Mighty F-150 Meets the Ecoboost Drivetrain

Attention, proud owners of the 2017-2020 Ford F150 with the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost engine! Buckle up, because we’re diving into the heart of your truck—the drivetrain. 

What’s Under the Hood?

Let’s talk about that 3.5L Ecoboost engine. It’s like the superhero of truck engines—compact, efficient, and packing a serious punch. Ford worked its magic, collaborating with General Motors to create the 10-speed automatic transmission, affectionately known as the 10R80. This transmission is all about rear-wheel drive applications, and it comes standard in your F-150 if you’ve got the 3.5-liter V-6 Ecoboost engine.

Turbocharged Goodness

Now, let’s zoom in on those turbos. The 17-20 F-150 Gen2 Ecoboost boasts some impressive upgrades. Picture this: electronically actuated wastegates, turbine wheels made from a lighter-than-air Mar-M-247 super-alloy (okay, not literally, but close!), and vane angles so sharp they could cut through traffic. These tweaks allow for a boost range between 2.5 psi and a whopping 16 psi. Translation? More power, more torque, and more fun when you hit that gas pedal. 

Why Should You Care?

Glad you asked! Here’s the scoop: upgrading your drivetrain isn’t just about flexing at the next stoplight (although that’s a bonus). It’s about unlocking performance, efficiency, and reliability. Imagine smoother shifts, quicker acceleration, and better fuel economy—all while towing your boat or hauling lumber. Plus, you’ll leave those stock F-150s in the dust. 

Brands That Rock

We’ve got the goods, my friend. From tuners to exhausts, intakes, and more, More Power Tuning (MPT) is your go-to. But let’s name-drop a bit, shall we? Circle D’s Ford HP Series Torque Converter? Yep, we’ve got it. McLeod Performance’s 10R80 Transmission Rebuild Kit? Check. And don’t forget the McLeod Performance by Rebestos Friction Plates & Steels Kit—because nothing says “I mean business” like a well-frictioned steel plate.
