Default 2012 eco or 5.0l ??

I have a 2010 f150 xtr screw with a 5.4. I'm looking at the end of the year deals. I'm looking at a Scab with either the eco or the 5.0 If its the 5.0 it would have to have 3.73 gears. Any advice on which one is better? I'd like to get a toy hauler this year too (not a huge one though).

5.0 is way better. You'd be stupid to buy an Eco

I had the 5.0 2011 now have the eco. I like both trucks, that being said the eco has way more torque. If you towing light 5000lbs or less either will do you well.

Yeah in all seriousness they are both great, I just wanted the low end torque which the 5.0 doesn't have a whole lot of, IMO.
