Your argument is as ridiculous as the guy saying his 5.0 doesn't downshift on hills in 40mph winds.
I call BS. You don't know what my truck does when I tow. You obviously have something wrong with yours as I pointed out, and used that as an excuse to buy a new truck. I've hauled and towed with many trucks and this 5.0L is excellent at towing. Pickuptrucks.com did some extensive tests with towing on grades and the 5.0L does excellent towing 9000 lbs compared to the Ecoboost. Yes, the Ecoboost does a bit better but the 5.0L does a good job as well.
Sounds like the EGO-boost ramblings on the F150 forums I'm sure you're from.
