| lol...there's opinion and then there's evidence.
Consumer Reports tested both the F150 V8 and F150 V6 ecoBoost in crew cab XLT versions:
- they both get the exact same gas mileage in real-world testing: 10 city, 22 highway, 15 mpg overall.
- the V8 had 9300lbs towing capacity, the ecoBoost 11,200...both way above boat towing needs.
- the ecoBoost was quicker to 30mph, the V8 quicker to 60mph and also quicker from 45mph to 60mph.
- the V8 has average reliability and the ecoBoost has below average reliability.
- the purchase price of the ecoBoost is quite a bit more expensive than the V8.
just wait for the arguing over the RAM V6 eco-diesel once it becomes more widely available...
