My son and I ordered a pair of matching 2013 F150's a few years back. Mine had the 3.5 EB, his the 5.0 V8. Both trucks have been run now over 100k with extensive towing with both. We ordered his with the V8 feeling it would be more reliable for the long haul. Both engines have been fine in that regard but no comparison with power, especially towing in the mountains, the 3.5 EB is just so much better. In hindsight, it was a mistake to order his with the V8. Hope this helps.
