The 5.0 downshifts to much I find...and doesnt have the jam like the eco boost....if i was keeping the truck long term would get the 5.0 though.

I don't find it downshifts much while towing. Plenty of snot in sport mode. I asked about the ecoturd and my dealer said I know you are towing sleds/atv trailer and the dump trailer, you don't want one if you plan on keeping it.

My buddy has one and his smart was remark when I bought mine was it doesn't tow as much. I told him to stfu and hand the wife the keys to go get groceries. Fucking thing has never seen a hitch in it.

Do they have any long term reliability tests on the ecoboosts yet? I've always been a little leary of turbo charged anything and longevity, but they seem to be all the rage now. Hell, a 60k Mercedes E class comes with a 4 cylinder now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timing chains and turbos seem to be an issue....my buddies 13 has gone thru 2 timing chains....on the other hand my dads 14 has been flawless and he only uses it to tow his 8000lb rv....hes done 2 trips to AK in it and one to cali.

You can tell who has towed heavy equipment and who hasn't... half tons are just not heavy enough to haul around 10,000+lbs. BS On 12/31/2017 at 11:12 AM, Reevester said: I deliver hardwood firewood with a 3800 lbs tandem dump trailer. A bushcord weighs about 4000 lbs and we can get a cord and a half in it. So 10k lbs. Never an issue with the ferds. Electric brakes are a must. Carry on though. Ebrake and trailer sway control On 12/31/2017 at 11:20 AM, Kev144 said: guys with rams always have the same excuse. "you should never tow over 7000lbs!!!!!!!!!!11" no, your truck isn't rated for over 7000lbs. Bingo On 12/31/2017 at 11:26 AM, Arctic Cat Destroyer said: Yeah you can but it's gonna fuck your shit up. It's scary at times too. I've done that shit for 30 years now, been there done that. No it won't No one here is saying that if they towed 10k+ all the time that a 1/2 ton is the way to go.

I fully understand if I am towing 10k on the regular, go for a bigger truck. The f150 can handle it once and a while. The ram can stick to a full load of groceries.

We haul equipment everyday. Can it be done in a pinch? Sure. But not a practice that should be done routinely. Been there, done that.
