Your results are interesting since I'll be pulling our ~9k lb 5th with a 6.2 super duty rather than the ecoboost. I understand you're not at WOT but it's running up to 4k so there is a fair amount of throttle input.
Your 30 second 0-60 is about what my old GMC 5.3 and 7000lb TT would do at moderate throttle and 4k RPM shift points. If I pushed it, 25 seconds was about it.
My ecoboost would get the same trailer to 60 in about 17 seconds without even sounding like it was working and not exceeding 4 grand.
With our 8800 lb 5th, the ecoboost could hit 60 in 20 seconds or a little better.
I'm anxious to see how the 6.2 and 9k 5th fit in there. I know it's not a race to the campground but for me, towing is the best part. The 5.3 setup was not fun at all so I hope the new setup is somewhere in the middle.
Just to add some info that's not in the video, the run to 60 didn't start at zero, and wasn't WOT for it's duration, I floored it for a while, then let off a bit at 8:12 or so while avoiding a section of broken pavement, then got back into it, but only to about 80 - 90% (guessing). If you watch closely (I know it's hard to see), I let off a bit before I got to 100 km/h too. It was a bumpy ride, and a bit uphill to a railway crossing. It's not a steep mountain grade, but it is an uphill climb at that particular stretch of road.
I will video a proper 0-60 towing when it's broken in.
I'd love to see your 6.2L F250 do a 0-60 at WOT while towing though. :B
