I drove a 17 Edge with one in CO for a month and was not impressed....at all, other than it is more powerful than a non boosted engine of similar size. It certainly would never fall into a category of something able to pull a full size truck plus a trailer - Wolf Creek Pass was enough for it."

You really need to do a lot more research on the ecoboost line, including the 2018 F-150 with the 2.7 liter EB before making a statement like that. The 2018 2.7L EB in the F-150 has 400 lb/feet of torque. That's plenty for a 6000 GVW trailer with a Class IV hitch system and WDH. Your 6.4 liter V8 has only 429 lb-ft, and you have to rev it up to 4000 rpm to get it. The 2.7 liter EB has its 400 lb-ft available at 2750 rpm. Guess who's going to be burning more gas? (Not that towing MPG is great in any TV!).
