Has anyone had any experience using a Ford F150 with the 3.5 liter ecoboost V6 as a tow vehicle? Any information would be helpful.

Hi cherylsslave,
Here's a link to a prior discussion on the F150 with Ecoboost.
A lot of questions like this have been discussed previously and can be found by searching the forum with a simple or advanced search. You can also use Google to search the forum by keying in Heartlandowners.org:my search terms.

I had a 2012 F150 3.5 Ecoboost until early this year and towed a 26' Toyhauler from TN to Florida several times. It was a surprising towing machine and always felt even stronger than the Ram Hemi V8 I traded for it. Fuel mileage was not that much better than a Ford or Ram V8 most of the time.
Feel free to pm me if I can answer any questions....

I was listening to Ed Wallace on the Wheels program on KLIF Radio the other day and a guy asked the same question, Ed has been in the auto industry for many years and evaluates the new vehicles for dealers. He said to get 1mpg extra for $1,200 is not that great and would not recommend it over the regular V6 Dual OHC.

I have a 2014 f150 ecoboost and tow a sundance xlt 5er. good power on hills, and I get 11mpg towing as an average . I have only pulled it 4,000 miles so far but the mpg stays steady.

Same here, all the way around: Ecoboost, Sundance xlt 5er and 11 mpg. Difference is we're over 25,000 miles. Gutsy little truck.
