That 2.7L EcoBoost has a lot of "get up and go" and some people find that keeping you foot out of the accelerator is hard to do ! Plus they charge $$$ for that option.
The 2.5L is a good engine and so is the 2.0L EcoBoost. I have the later one in my new Edge, which can also be towed, "4 down".
I am considering the Edge...but read the manual as the salesperson may have mislead you about the 2.0L. It is online as HTML under 'brochures' on Ford.com. and clearly notes that the 2.0L is NOT 4 wheel towable but FWD version can be dolly towed.... Copied from the manual, "2.0L EcoBoost vehicles with automatic transmission (6F35) CANNOT be flat-towed (all wheels on the ground) as vehicle or transmission damage may occur."
3.5L and 2.7L Ecoboost (and 3.7L in Lincoln MKX) are 4 down towable....Copied from the manual, "You can tow your 2.7L EcoBoost or 3.5L (6F50 or 6F55) equipped vehicle with all four wheels on the ground."
