That holds true for the 5.0 and 6.2 also, so that point is moot. If I was going to have a heavy trailer hooked up 90% of the time, then the 6.2 is what I'd have.
according to current tests the ecoboost drops below the 5.0 when towing. granted the test trailers are heavier than what most people will pull, but its a significant loss, therefore it is not moot but rather something to consider. on the pickuptrucks.com test the best they could get out of the eco towing was 8-9 mpg towing but only averaged 7.2. i didnt see where they said anything about the best they could get with the 5.0 but it averaged 9.4. if you only tow something a couple of times of year that would probably only amount to a hill of beans, but if you get in a towing routine it would sure add up.
the 5.0 and eco are both superior to anything offered from the other 2 (gm,dodge) so its not an easy decision. i would have considered an ecoboost had there been any in my area to test drive but all my dealer had was 5.0s so thats what i bought. It will serve my needs well and it's the best truck ive ever had (so far).
