Anyone towing with a 2.7 EcoBoost?
I'm curious as to your experience with the 2.7 EcoBoost in the 2015 F150 Thanks! Jeremiah

Wow...thanks for sharing Shinerbock,
I know that the pulls are unscientific but the little 2.7 was able to pull the Ike Gauntlett at the speed limit and the comments from Mr Truck saying he could have pulled it at 75 are telling.
The Ram EcoDiesel pulled it at 50 MPH...which is impressive considering it's only got 240 hp....
I know the 2.7 has 325 HP but it seems to perform very well...it pulled faster than the Tundra 5.7 with a similar load...the Tundra held 60 MPH up most of the gauntlet but it was giving the mountain everything it had.
Seems that these tests really illustrate how much of a benefit forced induction is for a truck at elevation.
Question...on the 2.7...why does it seem to pull harder than the 3.5 EcoBoost? I've heard that comment from the TFL guys and some other reviews...maybe the tq band and or HP is lower in the rpm range on the 2.7.
Thanks!
