Well guys, I should have bought a super duty from the word go, in one word : awesome!
I towed the same route as I did two weeks ago with the F150 ecoboost. The truck only went into 5th gear on two hills and I averages 10.1 mpg where I got 6.9 with the f150. It was beyond stable and comfortable, imagine with the propride 3p next summer!

The ironic part is it's seldom about cost or money but more about preferences and expectations.

I prefer a fully capable TV even if I have to make sacrifices on the daily driver end. I don't mind a truck like ride and do not need a softer 1/2 ton suspension.
Your new truck is a way more capable TV vs. your old Eco boost. Enjoy it.
