I read the FREEP column. Looks like Ford is swinging for the fences here. But I wonder, is the 3.5L Ecoboost enough engine in this application for towing? The low profile tires (20" or 22" on the Platinum Edition, doesn't that affect towing? Are these multi-speed trannys CVT or what? Exterior kinda pedestrian, but how much styling can you do with a shoebox? Interior is certainly nice and can be ordered chock full of gee whiz gadgets. Last quesition: How much $$$$$$?
Go to the "2017 F150 and Titan Ike Gauntlet" thread and check out the video of the 2017 Eco Boost pull. That engine never broke a sweat pulling that load with the new 10 speed tranny.
