- Certainly a more wind resistant friendly trailer load than a TT would be. Saw part of the Ford test at Homestead-Miami Speedway when the original Eco boosts were being released. They towed a trailer around the track for 24hrs almost non-stop. It was a fairly heavy load, but again nice and low--little wind resistance.

The 2.7 looks like it will be a winner in regards to power.
My only complaint on the test is they use that black GMC as a chase vehicle to run interference for them, allowing the truck to change lanes freely as traffic conditions change. I would like to see how the truck accelerates when you get stuck behind an RV/semi, and have to drop down to 30 or 40 MPH. I am sure the truck would do well under those conditions, but it would be a more realistic test if that is what you are looking for.
I agree but probably all of the test get the same help.
It isn't a real life test but fun to watch.
chevman- I continue to be really impressed how this truck performs.

- They need an ecoboost for the F250...I'd be interested in one...
