Location: Green Bay, Titletown, WI | The ecoboost is the motor that gets the highest towing capacity in the F150. It has more torque than the 6.2l V8, and a way better power band. The 5.0 is still the better choice though. The Ecoboost does not get better gas mileage (even though it's advertised better) , but it does have a lot more power. The 5.0 is no slouch. It still has more horsepower and TQ than the 5.4l. The ecoboost is an $1100 option, and you loose $500-750 in rebates also. So even if you get the advertised 21mpg from the ecoboost, it's only 2mpg better than the 5.0. It would take 6-7 years to make up the cost.
