I test drove the 3.5 Ecoboost and the V8 when looking at the F150.

Both great engines. Seat of Pants meter told me to go for the V8. Less complicated. Tows exceptionally well. I think resale on the 8 will be better.

Sounds amazing under load when towing. (the wife even commented that "it sounds like its not struggling like the landcruiser used to") (200 series TTD v8).

Few of the online reviews i read all agree the ecoboost on paper should tow better than the 8, but most say get the 8 for towing....I don't think there is a lot in it.

The Ecoboost models tend to sit longer online for sale in AUS while v8's tend to go quite quickly. I ordered mine new, could not find a v8 in stock. Heaps of ecoboost 6's around.

A raptor with the 8 would be great!!
