I have driven a few 3.5L Ecoboost F-150s, including towing my TT with one. I am very familiar with the torque curve as it is diesel like at 1500-2500rpm, and even stronger than diesel over 3000rpm. I would have purchased one except priority for 3-rows won at the time. If Ford offered that engine in the 2012 Expy, I'd probably have that instead of our Suburban.
