Anyone towing with their 2.7 Ecoboost F150?

I just can't wrap my head around 2.7 liters...about 165 cubic inches...in a truck, pulling 1000's of pounds of trailer.

I know, it's turbocharged. I wonder how hard it would run, in the Rockies, with it's full tow rating...or maybe more (as some people are bound to do) weight.

After a full towing schedule, let's say for the first 5-10 years of it's life...what shape will it be in...for second hand buyers, down the road ?

I'm sure Ford engineers checked all these things out, beforehand.

It's just me....wondering about small engines...doing big work.

Same thing was said about the 3.5L EcoB back in 2011. Still is in fact. :)

The 3.5L is holding up pretty well and the 2.7L is rated substantially less for payload and towing.

There may be issues with older, heavily used 3.5L EcoBs, but I'm not sure if they're any more than with other heavily used engines.

Time will tell I guess.
