Define wimpy. I've read that the 2.7L is a rocket ship, in fact it is the quickest of all the engine choices. If you're a 5.0 guy, shaving off a little bit on the 0-60 may not be as important to your butt dyno as the throaty roar of a V8.

The 2.7 os no wimp. I had a loaner for a week and the thing gets. All three of the top motors get up and go. Pick the one that makes you happy. You like the 5.0, get it. You won't be disappointed. I have the 3.5EB and the thing is a rocket ship next to my old 5.4 Triton. The 5.0 is a tad quicker than the 3.5 EB and the 2.7 is quicker than the 5.0. All three motors will move your truck in a hurry. People are splitting hairs on these motors, they are all quick.

I bought a 2018 XLT Screw, 2.7 EB a little over 2 weeks ago. I've driven all 3. The 2.7 impressed me the most. The 3.5 probably has the best power in real world but the little 2.7 builds torque so low it catches you off guard. It fits my driving style so I went that route.
