Anyone towing with their 2.7 Ecoboost F150?

Since the average F-150 is good for about 60% of the 11,500 pound rating, then the 2.7 should be good for about 60% of the 8,500 pound rating. Wonder what the payload numbers are like for a typical model?

I thought the rule of thumb was 80%. That's what we were told in the TT forum, again and again.

That may have been true when trucks had hopeless overdrive exploding 4 speeds trans and 200hp.
I would be that the 2.7TT would be completely tolerable at 100%, for a part timer. It's the same chassis and running gear, rated up to 11K towing and 3K# payload. It has more power than the 5.4 which was rated to tow over 10K. For a part timer, it should be great.
Anything over 300hp will move a decent sized TT decently.
A previous poster mentioned "sprung like a crown Vic"...... F150's are not sprung and under damped like certain other brands. (this applies to the E series vans as well).
