For a daily driver with some towing needs the AWD Ford Edge with 3500 lb towing capacity makes for a nice set up. The Explorer 4x4 is nice too with even greater capacity. (I'm partial to towing with SUV's right now)
The new Ram 4x4 with the 3.6 Pentastar will get you 23 highway MPG, 8 speed, and about 7500 lb toeing.
But if your heart is set on the F150 the EcoBoost 4x4 would be my choice.
Thanks!

all of my Ford F150 trucks have been the 5.4V8 with 3.73 gears... A great setup... TOLLS my 4000lb OFF-ROAD POPUP and still gets 19-20MPH. Have seen as high a 22MPH and as low as 18MPH.
Has lots of power...
My present truck is the 2010 model before the new V6 came out so don't have any experience with the new motors.

Just curious Roy, why do you always capitalize "OFF-ROAD POPUP"?

Ecoboost or 5.0L with 3.73. In the 15 years I have owned and followed F-150s, the engine and axle ratio does not significantly affect the fuel consumption the same driver gets for the same generation truck. Do you know what each driver notices? power when you want it. With the current trucks, 6th gear so so tall that holding 75mph unloaded up any small overpass causes downshift with 3.31 axle. Bah!
That's what I recommend also.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's a "3.7s"?
The base 3.7 V6. Should have said 3.7's.
Sorry, I was just fooling with you... That engine is not very popular here in NH as well as 2 wheel drive. It's easy to forget that other parts of the country have different needs than us.
