Anyone towing with the '17 F150 and 10 speed?
If you are towing with the new ecoboost and 10 speed tell us how you like it, what you are towing and fuel economy. Thanks

The 2017 f150 with the EB & ten speed should handle that trailer without any issues at all. There are guys on here claiming their older EB f150 is towing over 10,000# like a breeze. So something is definitely wrong here.

Have read elsewhere that the newer Al-bodies F150s are not as stable as the older Ecoboosts, and need a bit more work to get them to tow smoothly. Lighter suspension and weight most likely the problem. And you need an excellent anti-sway WDH if you're bumper tow.
Wonder if that 10 speed would help adjust the engine/tranny braking to maintain whatever downhill speed you want. Unless the extra gears are all overdrive?
Had an issue with the 1st-2nd gears on steep, slow descents with our 6 spd Ecoboost. Another gear in there might have helped.
