With that size TT you should look at the f-150 3.0 diesel. But what I don't understand is where are all the guys that claim to be making 12/13 mpg towing a 32' 10K# TT with their Eco Boost at? Dump the EB and get the baby diesel if you want fuel mileage. I made 24 mpg coming home for Knoxville running 85 mph average. Try that in a EB.

I'll keep my 10.5mpg Ecoboost pulling my 30' trailer anyday over any half ton diesel that has absolute **** for payload. The 3.5 with 10 speed gets 22mpgs running high 70 speeds and better...oh and the fuel is 80 cents a gallon cheaper here and no need for DEF or fuel filters either. 99% of half tons aren't able to pull 10k travel trailers without being over GRAWR and the trucks GVWR
Just my 2 cents...
