F150 EB vs 5.0 towing

Sidewalk Commando

Kevin, apparently no one has filled you in on RV.net. The less one knows about a subject the more expert one is. You sir, apparently own or have towed with one so you don't know squat. Mike never has so he is much more qualified to give the facts then you are.

Oh, this isn't anything. You should see how the Eco boys get on the Ford forums. They act as though the engine is blessed and anything said against it, was blasphemy.

I just love the fact that you can point your finger at us " ECO BOYS" as the trouble makers. If you read through almost every Ecoboost thread there is always a comment from you saying how unreliable the Eco is and you should buy the ALMIGHTY 5.0 because it can do everything the Eco can do with no turbo lag!
Now the truth comes out that you haven't even towed anything with your 5.0 truck yet but for some reason you are able to give all this advice to people on the 5.0 being just as good a choice as the Ecoboost... When in fact you really don't have any idea how your very own truck tows let alone the Ecoboost.. :S I suggest you get off the computer, go hook up the trailer and get some towing miles under your belt then you can come back and give real advice that you actually experienced yourself.. :B

Happy camping!

Ohhh, I'm sorry, did I hurrrrrrrrrrt your feelings?

It's hilarious, now you think you've found a bone and you'll keep chewing on it as long as you can. I've never heard anything so juvenile, but I'm honestly not surprised judging by the history.

No feelings hurt here Sally, :B I just let all the facts speak for themselves. Atleast when someone asks me for info and advice on the Ecoboost I'm able to give them an honest answer because i actually have experience towing with it!:E
Seems to be an awful high pedestal you put yourself on, make sure you don't fall.

With once a year towing and the rebates available to you right now the 5.0 is a no brainer. Enjoy the new truck.

Those threads on the f150 forums were crazy. I never understood the absolute devotion to a particular engine some people have. It was worse than politics or religion.

It really is amazing how much love & devotion some men can muster for an inanimate hunk of metal, hoses, and wiring!

It's like their particular choice of truck (or engine) validates something missing in their lives; Freud would have an absolute field day.

WOW! Sorry about this. I have seen those epic threads on teh F150 forum. I'm leaning towards a well optioned XLT 5.0 crew cab. The rebates for the 5.0 are almost criminal right now. It would take several years to recoup the mpg difference between the 5.0 and the Ecoboost. Plus, I will only average towing about once a year so the 5.0 would suit my needs.

Thanks for the replies and much thanks for the entertaining posts. ;)

6.2 and don't worry about the GAS :W

You could say the same about diesel guys, 5.0 guys, V-10 guys, etc. ;)
