No one has addressed the 3.21 rear gearing. My thoughts are it would only be good on flat ground as it will surely run out of poop in the mountains.Even with the 3.73 rear I had in my 2006 F-150, 5.4L I had troubles around AZ towing my 25' Rage'n toy hauler. Switched to a 2014 Ecoboost last weekend and can't wait to try it out
The 3.21 gears are the first thing I noticed, too. That's pretty tall gearing for towing, especially if you get into the mountains. You might be able to tow, but it's going to be pretty tough on the equipment. You won't have much engine braking and probably won't be able to use overdrive even on flat land.
