I have had my 13 ecoboost Max tow since new and have ran 85 in it from the beginning due to putting 2500-3000 miles on it a month and the 30 cent difference adds up.

I have 140,000 on the truck now and have never had any trouble. I have switched over to 87 and 91 for towing but never noticed a power or fuel milage difference.

I also live above 6,000 feet and regularly go up to 11,000 so running the lower octane wasn’t that big of a deal.
