6th gear ecoboost

[stevnoof]

I was wonder when you guys use 6th. I don't switch into it until 5th is around 2300rmp speedo says somewhere around 60 gps says a few mph less. I have 3.31 base manual ecoboost. 6th gear just kinda sucks when Rpm are at like 15/1600. what about you guys?

Mine improved drastically once it had some miles on it. I can check my rpms tomorrow. 6th doesn't suck anymore. I've got about 7000 miles on it now but I believe it was around 1500-2000 I noticed the difference.

I only use 6th on the highway. 5th if I'm going 60 or more. Firmly in the power band around town. No wonder I can't get over 20 MPG. I'm OK with that.

Damn man...I think I get 26 overall im always in 5th basically. I have almost 5k miles on her. by "miles" do you mean a new tune?

I go into 6th at 50 MPH. The car lugs below that.

I go into 6th at 50 MPH. The car lugs below that.

Same here, per manual recommendation.

Anything under 60 and 6th gear sucks and to 70 not to much better but no lug. These cars love 6th gear at 70 plus
