I tow with a 2011 F150 with a 3.5 EB and 6 speed tranny. I love the pulling power of the engine. My biggest complaint is that it is still a 3.5 l engine when it comes to motor braking coming down long grades. You will be using your trailer and or truck brakes so know how to do it without burning them up. You should also know how to look at your gauges and learn to shift the truck yourself to keep engine and tranny temps under control I frequently downshift before the truck decides to so that I can keep the tranny cool
