I had no problems towing a 6000 lb. TT with my F-150 3.5 E-Boost 4x4 in both the Ozarks and the Rockies. It had plenty of power and good handling. I am one of those folks who drive 60 mph and usually take the non-interstate routes.
However, the CAT scales showed I was at, if not a bit over at times, the max cargo or the TV axle ratings; depending on the amount water in the Fresh, Gray and Black tanks.
While we would all like to have a trailer towing beast, my TV also has to be affordable and serve my day to day needs. At most my towing represents 25% of my annual mileage and sometimes less than that.
Personally, unless the smaller E-Boost is a remarkable breakthrough in technology, or I was hauling less than 5000 lbs. TT weight, I would go with the bigger E-Boost engine.
The towing specs should tell you if the engine/towing package options on your TV will handle your proposed load. Also keep an eye on the max cargo limit.
