What do you think about the capabilities of the F150 for towing a 25 or 27' AS? It has the payload capacity but what about the 5 L engine? The attractive part of the F150 would be its gas mileage for daily driving. Coincidentally sticker price if around 44,000 for each.

as someone said already, 3.5l ecoboost is the best engin in my opinion. you will get better mpg when not towing and when towing...you will have a lot of power and torque.


as for towing ability, it s a personal choice. Not everyone is comfortable towing with the same vehicule. I personally think the F150 can tow any airstream in the line-up without any issue. But some people feel like they need a heavy-duty to tow at 23 or 25 etc.

    'somebody' above has said it exactly.
    My Ford F-150 Ecoboost, has met my every expectation.
    Pulled a 25' FC with ease, and where-as it's too soon to really tell, a short haul with new 30' FC. went fine. (so far)
