Ford F-150 V6 Twin Turbo or V8?

I think they are both overpriced, but the 3.5 claims to have a higher tow rating than the V8.

I love the ecoboost engines. They are a good push towards modern technology in an otherwise fairly stagnant segment.

for a very very long time, the full sized pickup truck segment was dominated by big V8s with very little in the way of valve control, accurate fuel management or even running proper levels of compression.
the Ecoboost is a great sidestep from this mentality showing what technology can do if you arent too afraid of change.

Engine technology has moved on so far since the 1950's when the V8's were produced.
Ecoboost engine technology has been around in Europe and Japan for a long time.
Ford are at last trying to drag US buyers into. The 21st century.
Here in the UK I drive a V6 twin turbo diesel. 255bhp 600NM torque.
Economical and powerful.
Just drive both and you will love the ecoboost engine.
The downside is this is a high tech engine it needs proper servicing with the correct oils. Not just a cheep.oil change at a quick lube place.

The only thing the ecoboost has is that it has been tuned to deliver peak torque at low rpm. Other than that, ecoboost fuel economy ratings are a joke and while under load, the V8 will probably use less fuel.
