I am not a Ford fan boy but no one should be concerned about Direct Injection nor Turbo changed engines today.
Every OEM using DI has had problems and of course the ave been turbo charging problems.
The 3.5L Ecoboost alone sold over 1 million units 2 years ago and we read of how many failures and problems? Percentage wise...would it even equate to 1%?
DI engines. Jeez. Way over 1 million across how many OEM's? Yeah, there have been problems. But again, what are the statistics? DI engines continue to come out in mass volumes. (With exception to Toyota V8's, which does say something.)
But seriously, there is no reason to steer anyone away from a DI and/or Turbo engine for towing. None at all.
