Ford F150 - Eco Boost + towing BLOWS - Ford F150 .net read that!
Will the 6.2 get better than 14mpg while pulling 5500 lbs? I don't think so (considering it gets 12 city (unloaded). Is the 6.2 cheaper to buy? No. Are the oil change intervals less? No. Does it take less oil? No. Does it have more torque down low? No. Does it tow more? No. All you get to do with a 6.2 is tell everyone how big your engine is. I think the only reason that engine is there, is to win those sorts of people over. The EcoBoost has more power and more torque than the 6.2 from idle right up until 4,500 rpm - where the 6.2 has a slight advantage for about 1000 rpm. From 2000-4000 rpm, the EB has a crap load more torque. I think for the people that just have to have it, make them get the Lariat.
