F-150 Ecoboost, built in generator
So, this maybe an "FW too far." I am enamored of the F150 ecoboost. 11,000 pound towing capacity, and from what I've read, plenty of power. The tricky part would be hitch weight, under 1200 pounds....

Get serious. If you really want an eco thingy, then stick with a TT. If you want a fifth wheel, get a real truck with real capabilities. My brother bough an eco boost and pulling his Jayco ultralite TT he is only getting around 10.5 MPG. Heck my Dodge Cummins pulling my 13,500 fiver gets that as a minimum. So dont let the eco hype get you suckered into an undersized TV.
When have we seen gas engines pulling trailers or boats in the past , and getting 10.5 ,I was lucky to get 8 pulling with any weight with gas, pulling 13K with a diesel I see 12 once in awhile, but on average 10-11 ., and certain condition's down to 9 . I agree if you want to tow heavy go diesel, but 10.5 is nothing to scoff about towing trailers. Too good of reviews with these newer gas engines to overlook.
