experiences towing with 3.5L ecoboost
Hello - we are seriously considering one of the ford vehicles with the twin turbo 3.5L ecoboost engine. Anyone who has experience towing with this engine, I would love to hear how it's working for yo...

Keep in mind the OP is not interested in the F-150 or any pickup. She wants a 3-row SUV to replace a minivan now that is within specification for her RV, but does not like the higher revs of a naturally aspirated V6. The Explorer/Flex with 3.5L Ecoboost seems like a good alternative to full sized SUVs like Tahoe/Expedition. Plenty of power, lower cost.
The Ecoboost in the Explorer and Flex are a little different than the F-150 but the performance is similar. Peak torque is a little lower in SUV vs F-150, but the vehicle weighs quite a bit less. I can't see how the an EB Explorer/Felx would not be a rocket compared to any minivan and relaxed towing within its ratings.
I'd like to see the 2.7L Ecoboost take over in ford's mid sized crossovers.
