You'd be ordering a 2016 (at least for the next few months). I went from an 09 SCrew 6.5' XLT 4x2 5.4 to a 16 SCrew 6.5' Lariat 501A 4x4 3.5EB. I liked my 09... but the 16 is a whole different truck. I love it.
I only bought it on Saturday, but so far she has a lot more punch on the highway. Way smoother and quieter ride. Haven't hooked up the RV trailer to see how it does with that as of yet but will be finding out in a couple weeks. Based in what I found for tow ratings it's supposed to be better than the 5.4.

Hands down better than the 5.4L. I towed with both. You are going to love it, congratulations.
You wont believe the dofference between the 3.5 EB and the 5.4. There is really no comparison. My '06 5.4 towed poorly. The 4 speed auto was always hunting. I would get about 9 mpg towing a 20 ft aluminum boat.

And you'll still get about 9-11 but you'll do so effortlessly. The 3.5L EB whips these trucks around like a wet dish rag.
5.4 was okay. Trailer is only 7000 lbs fully loaded. But last season I had a couple instances where motor and tyranny were heating up. Plus she had 174000 kms on her. Figured it was time to upgrade before too much went wrong. Wanted some warranty again. Peace of mind.
