So just how much weight are you towing with an ecoboost

Not to get into the debate, cause mine is definatly not enough to tow my raptor but how much weight are you pulling and how are they holding up, towing in hills etc. I have a 2013 for work and it tows my atv trailer like its not there (my 2010 5.4 knew it was there). I am just curious

My travel trailer weighs in at 7660 lbs. on a CAT scale. That is loaded weight. I have been to Florida and back from Pennsylvania and leaving again this week for the winter. Also do several smaller trips during the summer. It has power to climb the mountains of West Virginia, and Virginia with no problem. I can still maintain my speed uphill with no problem. Pulls like a diesel. Will say too that don't expect great fuel econimy though. Highest I ever got on the flats is 10 mpg. But usually I get 7.5 - 8 on average.

I tow a 33' travel trailer weighing anywhere from 7500-8000 depending how much the wife packs and how long the trip will be. I love the way this truck tows! It puts a smile on my face everytime i find a long hill to climb. Absolutely no complaints from me!

I tow about 8500 lbs of fifth wheel and get 10-11 mpg with premium gas at 60mph. I think the aerodynamics of the new fifth wheels is superior because of both the shape and close proximity to the TV.
