The 2.7 may well pull the trailer, but going is only half of the trip. The 2 biggest differences I noticed going from a 5.4 F150 to the 3.5 EB F150 were the huge increase in pulling power, but the lack of engine braking going down hills. I'm on the brakes much more than with the V8. I'm no engineer, and some may show me that I'm wrong, but I would not want to reduce the displacement any more than I already have.
I've got 2 Ecoboosts - one in the car and one in the F150. Both have less engine braking than a naturally aspirated engine. Both seem to have nothing until it gets into 2nd gear. Although the Tow/Haul mode in the F150 is outstanding.
And, yes the F150 is capable. It's about where the 3/4 tons were 10-15 years ago.
