[QUOTE="gwpfan, post: 758476, member: 14481"] It's interesting how 'stuck' on the V8 a number of people are. I own a 14 Raptor SCREW and a 12 Ecoboost (3.5L) SCREW Long box 4x4 with a 3.73 rear end Lariat loaded and my wife liked my 12 so much she went and got a 13 Eco Platinum w/the same spec's. I've now towed with both (could say all three). The Ecoboost wins plain and simple. Faster off the line and tows better. On hills my Eco would downshift to 5th, the Raptor would downshift to 3rd. The Ecoboost is much quieter, while some may like the engine noise over time it gets old hearing the drone of the engine and yes I know the engine drone vs tire noise. Granted my Eco is tuned, which in runs much better, but on these towing tests I put in back to stock a couple hundred miles prior to testing and my wife's has never been tuned. I've even tried using tow haul mode on the Raptor, which it helped some, but the Eco still wins. Just look at the factory specs, but the Torque really tells the story HP 411 @ 5500 rpm (6.2L V8)* Using 93-octane fuel. 365 @ 5000 rpm (3.5L EcoBoost®) Torque 434 @ 4500 rpm (6.2L V8)* Using 93-octane fuel. 420 @ 2500 rpm (3.5L EcoBoost®) Within 14 lb/ft at 2000 less RPM... Interesting 6.2 posted using 93, why wasn't the Eco? Pulled the manual but couldn't find info with 93 on the 3.5 Eco. *All vehicles tested with stock rims and tires [/QUOTE]
