Eco- thingy numbers vary all over the place. With that motor just don't expect any better towing fuel economy than a much more capable truck with a diesel motor. Unloaded they can achieve decent numbers. Met up with my brother last summer, He had his eco-boost pulling a Jayco untralight around 17 feet. He mentioned that he got 10.5 from home to where we were. WOW I says, that's no better than I get with my Cummins dually pulling 13,500 pound fiver. HE goes silent after that. It will probably be better than the 5.0L Furd though. HAve you considered the new Dodge 1500 with a Cummins and 8 speed auto? or even the GM twins with the 5.3l?
