Question for the ecoboost owners..

I have looked on Ford's website at ecoboost trucks. I see that there are a number of options for the engine (and transmission). Can the regular ecoboost tow a travel trailer or does a body need the high end ecoboost? What's the real world options here?

Assume your asking about the 3.5 EcoBoost engine. One problem folks run into when choosing a F150 is not paying attention to gvwr and more importantly rawr packages. They buy a CC or SC and then get the one with the small gvwr/3800 rawr then tell everyone the F150 won't do the job.

Example; F150 3.5 EB crew cab can have;
6750-7050 gvwr and small 3800 rawr for around 1400 lbs payload in the bed.

7050 gvwr with 4050 rawr for approx 1600 lb load in the bed.

7600 gvwr and 4550 rawr = around 2100 lb load in the bed.

7850 gvwr and 4800 rawr for around 2400-2500 lb load in the bed.

Ford advertises one hp/torque figures that I've seen for the 3.5 EB in the F150 for serious towing duties.
