Advice on Ford F150 Ecoboost
Today I have a 1/2 ton Yukon XL Denali AWD. It does ok with my 6000lb lightweight TT here in the midwest but I dont really trust it across country and my tranny is getting close to needing replaced. ...

My only comment is that the Ford 3.5 V-6 engine have an internal water pump, which if it goes, will be very expensive to replace. Like $1000 to $2000. Could also damage engine and engine would have to be replaced, as when pump goes, coolant can get into oil.
Have read on the internet of one engine failing at 61,000 miles due to pump failure.:(
Bzzt, wrong. The FWD applications (Taurus, Explorer, Flex) do have the internal water pump. The RWD (F150, Expedition) have an external water pump. Don't believe me? Look it up on fordparts.com
To the OP - we tow a 35', 9900lb trailer with our Max Tow Ecoboost. It does great. Make sure you get a good WD/Anti Sway hitch. We use the Equalizer.
