Sad that folks need to resort to personal attacks because they can't even read an owners manual.

We can read it just fine, you just interpret what it states differently than what normal people do. You think it means that you have to run premium when towing, and we know it means that it is a recommendation if you want max power output which will be more noticable in situations such as towing, but it is not required in order to tow.

I didn't "interpret" anything, I simply displayed the owners manual for those that will not otherwise read it. This is the TOWING section of an RV FORUM and some may want to educate themselves, a few apparently want to only make childish remarks.

We are all reading the same thing, but most here do not interpret it the same way you are. It seems that you(a non Ecoboost owner and one who has never towed with one) are one of the very few people that insist the manual means that you need premium fuel when towing. Most others(many being actual owners who have towed with one) take the manual as saying that the engine is designed to run on 87 octane, but using premium fuel will get you additional horsepower and will be most noticeable in high load situations such as towing.

Why do you even care this much what kind of fuel people use in an engine that you dislike and do not even own is beyond me.
