happy with our eco boost f150
Just got home from the last trip of the year. Towing the f'ver in our signature and yes the f150 is a max tow haul 4x4 with just the wife and I we probably had more weight in wine than anything else...

Glad you are enjoying your truck. Per follow up question on milage here is what I am seeing.
My on-board milage readout (aka lie-o-meter) has proven to be pretty accurate. Based on that and on hand calculated numbers I see the following:
Short trips in town of 3 miles with lots of stop lights and traffic: 12.5 - 13.5
Longer trips in town of 5 miles, speeds closer to 40 and a few lights: 16.5 - 17.0
Run from Portland to Seattle and back at 65-70 and a few miles driving in town on either end: 18.0
Per on-board milage it is easy to get 21 or so if I keep it at 60 on the highway.
Towing 8k I get 9.5.
3.73 rear end on this one.
And like the others I am happy with the rig. Not just the low end torque, but how quiet the engine is.
