It's funny how everybody sees things different. My buddy pulled to the campground last weekend in the mountains and said the eco boost motor did fine until he was coming down the mountain. He needs a bigger truck. He is searching as we speak. Also he is only pulling about 6800 pounds. I guess it's all where you live. If you're in the mountains all the time the eco-boost will not cut it as far as breaking goes. My wife and I mostly go to the mountains and tow about 10,000 pounds. I will stick to diesel myself. Enjoy whatever you have.
