Stick to diesel Scott! |
You realize that the twin turbo V6 ecoboost motor in the F150 make 420ftlbs of torque right? That's only 80 less than my diesel. It also makes 365 hp, which is quite a bit more than the 7.3L's 250 hp.
The F150 has a towing capacity of 11,100 lbs if you get the max towing package... which is just under the 12,500 of the SuperDuty. Considering I tow like 6,000 lbs at most... it's basically moot.
That ecoboost truck is kind of amazing.
