Ecoboost real life towing
First tow
2012 Eco 4x4 Platinum towing 20 ft Grady White full tank gas (70-gallons) plus truck and bed loaded for Beachtrip
6000 lbs estimate
11.0 mph running 65. From Atl to Gulf.
Transmission 195
Very little downshifting
Excellent braking
Tons of power over my old 5.3 Tahoe
Excellent ride
Ford hit a Homerun. Truck pulled the Grady with very little effort _ night and day over the Tahoe

Retired and loving it!
Towing is where the EB really outshines ANY other truck engine in the market....

Keepin' the lights on!
I agree. My EB tows way better than my old 5.3 silverado. Mpg is about the same.
The EB does outshine any other 1/2 ton truck (and some 3/4 ton) when it comes to towing.
