I've got the 5.7L in my Tundra. It's got 381hp and drinks gas at a pretty high rate. I routinely tow right near 10,000 lbs with it and also haul a lot of 1,500+ lb loads of firewood. It has no problem at all with that.
But...did I mention it likes gas? LOL
It doesn't sound like you'll be using your new vehicle to do that sort of heavy towing/hauling so it might be a good idea to opt for the smaller, more fuel-efficient engine in the Ford.
Eh...wot?

The real world fuel mileage of the 3.5 eco boost is almost identical to a V8. I would go with a Toyota over Ford any day and twice on Sunday.
Your entitled to oxygen. Everything else is earned.

I’ve got the eco boost in my 2016 F150. Perfect combination of the downsides of a V6 and a V8. Not much power but uses the same amount of fuel as a V8 as was mentioned above.
Previously Bridger158, before the great "Time Out".
