Looks like we now have a good comparison of a 2017 Platinum 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost Crew Cab against a 2018 Platinum 4WD 5.0L Crew Cab, even if the 5.0L has a performance retarding 3.31 axle next to the 3.5L Ecoboost's 3.55 axle.
Along with that, we truly see how the 2018 2.7L Lariat Ecoboost performs next to the more powerful engines with the same transmission and the 3.55 axle.
The 2018 Raptor with it's extra power and 4.10 axle only equaled the Platinum trucks, but the Raptor weighs considerably more.
All were 14.7 seconds in the quarter mile except the slower 2.7L which was 15.5 seconds. With the 5.0L the quickest to 100 mph at 16.0 seconds.
If the 5.0L would of had it's 3.73 axle instead of the doggy 3.31 axle, it would had likely beat all significantly.

Finally some real numbers! I get so tired of reading posts about people who take their bone stock 2.7 out and run high 13's. No freaking way.

100lb = a tenth is a rule of thumb. Unfortunately, rules of thumb rarely apply to all situations. Too many other variables.
As for those of you who are magazine racing, nothing is more comparable than testing done on the same day at the same location and with the same drivers. Still doesn't mean it is the be all, end all. Maybe they got a dog of a truck. Maybe someone else got a hot truck.

These results aren’t all that surprising. The 3.5EB did well at low speed and gave up a lot of ground to the 5.0 once that coyote started revving. This trend is exactly what anyone would reasonably expect to happen. It’s a reflection of the powerband and where each motor shines.

I think the bigger takeaway is that the 5.0 was competitive, and even faster in many areas, while using the 3.31 axle many claim to be atrociously slow.
