I drive an F450 daily, had an 02 7.3 F250 and also an 06 F350 DRW, know my Super Dutys as far as comfort/steering.
Although my current 2015 F-150 has towing and hauling limitations (works for my small boat and TT) it is by far the nicest ride compared to all the others. Turns on a dime, drives like a dream with not nearly the harsh ride as a super duty. Highly recommend one if it fits your towing/hauling needs. BTW, Love my 5.0 with the 6 speed, tow package, tow mirrors, 3.73’s.Gets it done and wouldn’t overlook it while shopping ecoboosts.

To be perfectly honest, if I were getting a truck and it came down to 5.0 vs 3.5 EcoB I'd opt for the former even though it gets a smidge less on MPG and maybe a 1000 lbs less on towing.

Any reasons why?
