Curious how the V6 Ecoboost tows 5000-6000 lbs? Does it do as good as the V8?
@rollinstone ,completed agreed with @sjwelds . Many We Americans have a stigma against V6's, but with twin turbos that don't have the lag of eons ago, an EB vs V8 Gen 3 is lighter, has more HP, more torque, AND has a much much flatter power curves than the V8. You get most of your torque from ~1500 RPM all the way up past 5K RPM. INCREDIBLE difference for me going from one to the other.Should do better. More power and torque.
We love our 2012 but it will likely be the last one we own with the V8.
You lose some cool factor on engine and exhaust sound, but it's am impressive package if/ when you get past it.
I also found the trans programming to be hugely improved on my 2017, but I was going from an 08 so maybe they figured it out in between. The 08 was maddening to try and keep it from screaming RPMs when going up hills and just do the damn upshift - it had the power. Anyway, that was years ago...
