3.3 with 10spd
My son is looking at a single cab Xl truck that has a 3.3 with 10spd. What's your guys opinions on this setup? He will only pull small trailer with Atv or small boat.

Well, that'll be rated to tow 5000 lbs if it has the 3.55 rear end, and 8200 lbs if it has the 3.73. Good little engine, you don't hear much about them, but you also don't hear much bad about them.

I drive that combo at work everyday in a Police Explorer. I don't like it very much. Slow from a stop or during any attempt to go WOT. Try to test drive one first as the F150 is a totally different vehicle. It was much better with the 6 speed auto. Also consider looking at a 2.7 EB.

In comparison, I used to have a 2016 F150 Super Crew 4wd with the 2.7 ecoboost with 33 inch tires. It was a blast to drive and far beyond the work truck setup.
The 3.3 engine has been incredibly reliable though. As long as basic routine maintenance was done, they have performed flawlessly until we sell them around 2 years old with 150k miles.
