Ford F-150 5.0 V8 Towing
I have a 30 ft TT at #7100 wet. I am looking at a 2013 F150 XLT 4x4 Supercrew with the 5.0 v8. How is this truck for towing Thanks George

Turbo failures are rare. Ecoboost engine failures are rare. It's on it's 5th year and has been as reliable as any V8, so much so it bumped the 6.2l out of the F150. The humidity studder and plug gap problems just about disappeared after 2013. There are no other major issues with the ecoboost other than bald rear tires. Haters are just going to hate.
And a 'bit more power' would be a vast understatement. The eco will run 1-2 gears higher while towing that much weight. It will forever change your view of how a gas engine should tow.
