Wow, something I didn't expect... nearly a consensus! It's one of those things where I realize that 95% of the time the pickup won't be necessary, but the 5% where it will likely make my life much more relaxing.
I had heard mixed reviews about the ecoboost in the mountains. Running hot when going uphill at full load, but I'll be nowhere near that. Even if true, I think I would be good.
When looking in the future, naturally I would love to say that we'll be happy with the Pup and won't need to upgrade but I know how that goes.
I appreciate everyone's time in responding, can't thank you all enough.
