36 gallon standard with 4x4 & Eco-Boost while 26 gallon on 2wd Eco-Boost

And to think my F-350 short bed came with 26 gallon (upgrading to 50 Titan tank - best upgrade ever)...

Hi,
We bought a new 2012 Ecoboost last july to tow our 2012 FC 25FB. so far it has been a great truck.
we have about 8,600 miles on it, 4,000 of those miles towing. I have records of 3 tanks of gas towing our AS, total weight of 12,750 lbs and we got 12.6 mpg. We had reasonably level roads, and held our speed to under 60 mph.
The Ecoboost has lots of power when needed and for my wife and I it is very comfortable to travel in. It has a 36 gallon gas tank.
This engine came out in 2011 I believe. I keep my vehicles a long time so if this truck performs this well for the next 10 years it will be great.
I can not speak to the F250 because I did not shop for it.
Phil

I'm towing a 27 footer. I have the newer 250 diesel. I wouldn't tow with anything else. Moreover, my son has an F150 Ecoboost. He has had a number of instances when towing his cattle trailer and the boost simply didn't operate. Most recently he was almost rear ended by a hauler as he tried to merge on to the expressway because he lost the boost in his Ecoboost. They admit there is a problem and they will fix. It is not a warranty recall...instead it is a "bulletin" at the dealer level. Bull crap I say. He's presently shopping for a 250.

Aquabud, It is an update to the ECU. I had it done and it fixed the issue. No more stalling under exceleration. So it is not "bull crap".
