I'm gonna look at a 2016 Ford F 150 tomorrow with the 2.7L V6. I don't know anything about the engine and hope you guys can enlighten me. I tow a 2010 Coleman Dinesty tent trailer, I think its about 2400 pounds (its new to me too) Atre there any issues I should be concerned about with this engine, either in towing or reliability?

I have several friends with EB engines, all very reliable. One has the 2.7 and its a very strong engine. You should be good with such a light trailer.

I have not heard of any, but if your going ecoboost why not the 3.5 engine? Just curios, regardless both appear to be good engines. Couple of coworkers have them, and I have heard of zero issues. Let us know what u get!

Buying used and the truck I'm interested in has the 2.7.

A truck, a camper, a few toys, but most importantly a wonderful family.
