Thanks for all the info folks. I ended up buying a 2013 XLT SCREW 4x4 with a 3.55RE Electric locking RE Ecoboost, also has the off road pkg, although I have yet to figure out exactly what that is other then skid plates to protect the hardware. If anyone knows please share with me. The pkg was already on the truck and I really did not pursue the details with the salesman.
I decided against the 3.31RE. Did not have the option of a 3.73 in the F150's I looked at. I figure the 3.55 is pretty close and will do great for my needs ( 4000lb TT loaded ) Will be a big improvement over the 4.6l v8.
CND Supercrew: Thats a pretty nice fuel program. I am guessing you have to manually input the data each time you fill up? Can you do that from a phone? I will check out the website. Nice fuel numbers by the way. Mine has only a little over 100 miles but the avg is showing 19.6 which includes stop and go between the dealer and home, trip to Wally World, and grocery store so I am optimistic mileage will be decent, at least non towing.
