A question I’ve been getting asked quite a bit lately is whether a customer should purchase the 3.5 or 5.0 on a new f-150. Old school thinking is to get a V8 but with the set up on the new ecoboost not only do you get better fuel economy, you get better torque, and also a better towing capacity set up with a max tow on 3.5 of 13,200lbs. Here’s a quick video of the two motors going head to head.
