Subject: Re: ecoboost towing

All I can is add is that when my brother told me he bought a V6 F150 last year I laughed at him... but having now driven and ridden in it around town and pulling trailers up north- I would never guess that motor is not a V8 without knowing it. At the end of the day, its very comparable in power and mpg... But is it worth paying more for? I don't know. Will it have turbo issues past 100k miles as someone else here said? I don't know. It's a nice truck and with the government making fuel regulations more and more strict, we should get used to turbo V6's and the like. I believe that automakers have done all they can with a V8, and turbo V6's or even hybrid technology are going to be where automakers focus to meet these regulations. The old V8 engine is going to be phased out in my opinion, like it or not...
