Hello Mike
I have a new truck on order with the same dealership. Same XLT, engine, 10 speed and color; except I ordered the SE, Sport Package, FX4, and 6 1/2 box. Can't wait for arrival. This will be my 6th Ford truck. I Tried a 2003 Tahoe Z-71 for a year. Almost used the California lemon law. Sold it privately after too many trips to the dealership.

I have towed, and I can say this "little" 3.5L EcoBoost engine does not disappoint. Kind of fascinating to me because the wife's 4L Tacoma is a larger engine, with a lighter truck, and can not compare to the performance of the F-150; neither the pure power, nor the gas mileage.

She loves her truck, don't get me wrong. Driving the Tacoma is more like a sports car compared to the F-150. OTOH, if you have some real work to do (or take a long trip), we choose the F-150 every time.

The 3.5L EcoBoost is a fantastic towing engine. I've done a little towing with the 2.7L EcoBoost and that engine as expected does very well. I have a couple longer tows coming up next month. It should be fun.

Nice. They have been pretty good to work with so far. Got a great deal, support as needed as been mostly good. I'm guessing you are close by too..I'm in R.C.
