Get what you want the first time around. Narrowing it down that far is a plus. Definitely get 4wd even if you "know" you will never need it because there will come a day that you will and will regret not having it. As far as engines go, I have owned two f150s in the past 4 yrs and both ecoboosts. The first plain jane 2wd XLT (impluse buy) and stupid one, not that I didn't love the truck just not the one I truly wanted which I have now which is a 2012 FX4 both were supercrew. Now for the towing. When I did live in FL and had my 2wd XLT EB I towed a 20ft Proline deep bow center console. The EB was an amazing engine when it came to towing the boat. I couldn't even tell I was towing most of the time unless it was windy. I launched at several different launches, some kept up nicely and others, well, lets day they might have been handmade with shovels and gravel. But the end results were always the same and the EB yanked it out easy everytime. Only had problems one time when it was super low tide (pre hurricane) and the wheels were spinning bc of all the mildew/algae down towards the bottom of the launch and thats when I knew I had to get my FX4 someday. She ended up pulling her out but overall I love the supercrew ecoboosts.
