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.

I don't care what fuel you put in your vehicle and wish that you didn't care what I put in mine. Especially since you apparently have no relevant personal experience and with my two Ecoboost trucks combined I have nine years and 150,000 miles of experience. If you want to buy an Ecoboost and put premium in it I won't criticize your choice and will sincerely hope that whatever you do works out well for you.

But, from the link I posted earlier you can see clearly see that while Ford does require premium in the HO engines they only require regular in the vast majority of the Ecoboost engines they build, including the two that I own and use. Recommend and Require have quite different meanings, please learn and understand them.
