I called that F-150 an eco-boost but that terminology may not be correct, so correct me if this is wrong. But it's one of those V6 twin turbo Ford trucks that he just bought. For what ever reason I view the ecoboost as the 4 banger stuff in economy cars.
He thought that maybe he cooked the engine but the dealer was able to repair and get him back on the road. I think that was the nail in the coffin for him though, being brand spanking new and already a major repair.
