How much more does the 3.5 ecoboost weigh over the 5.0?
Does anyone have these numbers? I know there are tons of different configurations but I'm wondering what the difference is when this is the only difference between two trucks.

50 lbs i think is the difference in payload, EB being heavier.

I saw something once that said the 5.0 was the lightest V-8 produced at 445 pounds but I'm not sure what an Eco-boost weighs.

I've seen figures thrown around at about 35# but that probably depends on whether you are weighing just the long block and turbos or adding in the CAC and piping.

In 2011, the curb weight of a EB 3.5L F150 was about 35 pounds lighter than with the 5.0.
In 2014, the EB 3.5L had grown to 30 pounds heavier than the 5.0...
The 2015 Ford Body Builder guide doesn't seem to be out yet, but that would give the curb weights of both configurations.
It appears the EB equiped trucks got heavier, rather than the 5.0 getting lighter. Wonder where the weight increase came from... Intercoolers? Turbo plumbing? Can't imagine the base engine grew anywhere near 60 pounds.
