3.5L V6 of 5.0L V8
I recently bought a 37 ft. Grand Design Reflection TT that's 8600 lbs dry with 11,000 GVWR. I can't imagine any scenario in which I'll load it down to the full 11,000 capacity. My beloved Ford Explore...

OK Y'all,
I'm trying to decide on my next truck, and the choice is an F-150 V8
Or the F-250 V8. I think I like the dependability of a naturally aspirated V8.
The 6.2 V8 makes 400# of torque at 3800 rpm. I think that engine could run all day at that if needed.
The Twin Turbo$ $care me. I just don't think I could buy a 3.5 EB, regardless of the platform.
What experience have y'all had keeping the turbos in shape to do the job? Please speak to long term durability and upkeep.
Top Fuelers can be built with outrageous HP, but they are built to run for 4 seconds and 1/4 mile.
Third, there is no problem with getting a V8, you just miss out on the great gas mileage the ecoboost delivers. If its a daily driver, that's a big factor in my book. The 10 spd transmission is icing on the cake.
