Anyone towing with their 2.7 Ecoboost F150?

Very few 1/2 ton trucks are sold with the very expensive heaviest suspension tow packages. Most 1/2 ton trucks are sprung like an old Crown Victoria.

I think the 2.7 engine in the F150 will be a great motor for everyday driving and for pulling a 4K lb. bass boat. But if you're towing a 10K or heavier fifth wheel trailer, a diesel and a minimum 3/4 ton truck is certainly warranted for the heavier suspension and brakes.

I'd buy the 2.7 in a second, but my 2003 F250 7.3 diesel crewcab still has more life left in the engine than a brand new gasoline powered truck. And I'm not prepared to pay the $35K difference.

That was my thinking as well. Most people don't use them to pull TT. Where I use to work the parking lot was full of half tons that will never pull a trailer in there life.
