You should try towing with one. I just got back from a 6000 mile trip towing 5000 pounds, and it (3.5ltr) was never close to its "limits". It was a relaxed tow, even up the Ike gauntlet and several other passes. I think opinions would start changing if they came from people that have used them.
I've been preaching exactly that. my 800lb/ft 6.7 does not tow 2x as good as my previous 3.5 Ecoboost (420lb/ft) did, nor did it ever feel underpowered for the task.

Make it an option in the F250/F350 and I will put my money where my mouth is when it comes time to replace this truck.
