I have owned both in the 4wd scab f150. My 5.0 got better mileage and was able to tow everything I needed it to tow very easily. It also got better mileage while towing. Both the 5.0 and the Eco run tunes. Tuned, there is no comparison in the torque. We should not compare apples to oranges either. Twin turbo is a huge advantage when it comes to torque.

They're both very capable engines in half ton trucks.
