I towed my camper with it for the first time last weekend. It did decide to kick down to second gearing while braking down a hill. 5,500 RPM's seemed a little excessive. Other than that, it worked fine. It likes 7th gear mostly while towing.

Would manually run my 2011 (6spd, 3.73) that high in 2nd down some steep Appalachian trails to get enough engine braking. But I didn't like it either. The Ecoboost is a great engine other than it's weak engine braking.
