Default Help choosing engine

Ok, I am new to this forum so I am sorry if this topic has been asked multiple times. I am in the market for a new truck and love the F-150's! I have driven all three engine types and see the benefits of each. This is primarily going to be a family hauler, with occasional actual hauling however nothing crazy.
Help me decided which engine. Let me know what you have and if you like it.

Thanks!

If all engines you tested were satisfying, find a truck with all the features you want. Whatever engine it has, take it.

2.7 eb would probably fit you best.

Let your wife choose, that way when it breaks down, you can blame her.

I have the 5.0 and like it. Especially in Sport mode with Advance Trac Sport mode turned off.....

If you don't think you will be towing anything and just have a pavement princess, then I would go with the 2.7 for better gas mileage. If you are going to do manly man things 5.0 baby!!!
