Eco Boost...Max tow or not?
#11
Your post made me look at the FX4s...damn those are nice, seems like a ton of options and would fill the bill for all the comforts. As far as towing...it looks like I would be hard pressed to find the 3.73 or max tow. I am going to guess your boat is heavier than mine with the big blocks and I don't know if Velocity includes the swim platform like Sunsation does on the measurement. So really no complaints towing with your rear?

My work truck(2012 f-250) has the 6.2 and wow that's a power house! Wish they could put that in the 1/2 ton trucks! Besides the raptor. I know this isn't a comparison thread but the power is equal to my new Silverado 6.2- I love both packages.

They put the 6.2L in the F-150 "Platinum" which is a 1/2 ton non Raptor.

Oh yes I've read that Eco Boost thread twice...helped sell me on the idea too.

The Max Tow has a MUCH larger tow rating.
2013 Supercrew, FX4, Max Tow, only option I didn't get was sunroof and man step. Here's the clincher on my rig. I ordered it with the 157" wheelbase. To me longer wheelbase has an advantage when towing, not to mention I get more bed space. Garage space isn't an issue for me due to a 30' garage. I hear complaints from those that say it's harder to maneuver and park in urban settings. I say if you can't park it due to an extra 12" maybe you should have purchased a Honda Civic and turned in your man card.
I'll post a pic in a while.

which would you choose...the f150 with the 6.2 or a GMC with the 6.2?
