Sorry for the late response! I've been busy the past couple of days with the holidays coming up and driving my new truck around and what not! I have read all of this.

I just wanted to hear some real world experiences towing with this kind of truck. Thanks!
If I had listened to the 3/4 ton diesel pundits, I'd have never gotten into rving and still be staying at HIX hotels!
But, I did it anyway (17' hybrid towing with minivan , 3500# tow rating).
I say buy what you want and get camping this spring making memories. That truck can pull almost any bumper pull on the market, and many 5th wheels as well.
Do you own a F150 Ecoboost? I do and your statement is wrong.
