I get it that the ecoboost is great. That is not the question. The dealers here in South Texas stock a lot of models with the standard 3.5 engine and I was asking if anyone had any experience towing with one. Good or bad? Actual fuel mileage?

What's the price difference between the EB and non-EB motors? Might be worth the price differential.
Another non-direct answer, but I towed a boat around 3500 pounds with the 4.0L Explorer and it had to work hard, but it pulled it.
A TT is going to have more wind resistance, etc, etc. But the 3.5 of today is a better motor than that 4.0L...
