Look on YouTube for the test of all of the manufacture 1/2 tons with gas engines. The 2.7L Ecoboost beats them all in the 1/8 mile, followed by the 3.5L Ecoboost. When the 2.7L doesnt, its because it cant keep it's wheels from breaking loose an laying rubber 1/2 way down the track. Unbelieveably impressive. It has guts and power in a Supercrew. I'll pass as I tow 10k, but if I needed a daily driver and could get it in a loaded King Ranch an tow a 6500# travel trailer 12X a year, I'd not hesitate a bit.
All of the sudden 325hp and 365ft/lbs torque, (more power than Dmaxes had till 2006), with more gears, in a lighter truck is not enough to tow anything heavy. Krikey.
The lack of deductive reasoning on this forum leaves me gobsmacked at every visit.
There's another thread talking about an overweight 240hp truck, and urban legends already been made up about how competent it is.
There's also frame strength and brakes and tire weight ratings to be considered, not just power.
