Default Advice Appreciated

Hello-

I'm considering purchasing a new or lightly used F 150. My driving consists of about 70% city and 30% highway. I will be driving 12,000-15,000 miles per year. I also will be towing a small travel trailer that weighs about 2800 lbs. about 8-10 times annually. I tend to keep vehicles a long time.

What would you recommend I purchase, considering a combination of mpg, reliability, and durability? Should I purchase the 5.0, the 3.5 Ecoboost, or the 2.7 Ecoboost?

Thanks for your input!

2.7 for mileage, 3.5 for heavy frequent towing/best performance, 5.0 for sound


I think you are a great case for the 2.7 EB
