I think that many of you guys viewed this test as some sort of competition, and TFL portrays it as such. I looked at it differently, and I think it underscores the fact that there is more to towing comfortably than what is under the hood and the factory tow ratings. It's the reason that most guys would choose a 250/2500 series truck to tow a trailer approaching 12,000 lbs., and it's the reason the Titan handled that trailer better with the exception of uphill speed. For that trailer I would certainly pick an F250 or 350 with the 6.2 even though the F150 with the Ecoboost will get up the hill faster. And I doubt the selection of the HD version of the F150 would have made much difference, the XD is still much heavier both loaded and unloaded.
Well said!
