Ecoboost 3.5 Towing MPG Sucks
Hi all, back after a couple years without a RV......I jumped back in with a Passport Ultra Lite 153ML, GVWR of 4500lbs. I just returned from picking up the trailer and pulled it with my 2017 F150 3...

twodownzero---Where did this information come from???? Wait til he discovers that the engine is worn out at 80,000 miles, too. There is no free lunch. Ecoboost might get you better loaded mileage but it comes at the expense of low end torque and longevity. Everything in engineering is a tradeoff! Enjoy your V6 fullsize pickup; the results were predictable but the EPA MPG numbers were too good to pass up.
I currently have 168,000 miles on my EB and we are planning three trips this summer that will be in excess of 10,000 miles. Last year we drove the EB 20,000 miles, 10,000 with a TT and never had a problem. I guess I better tell the wife that we will have to cancel all of our future plans until we buy a 350 with diesel or we will die in ND or Montana. I guess we will have to wait for the net wagon train before heading out by ourselves.
Have you driven an EB? That thing has way more low end torque than I ever imagined. Check the torque and horsepower graphs before yo talk about low end torque. It beats most gas engines no matter what their displacement.
