my hunting buddy has a 2019 3.5L 60k miles and i have a 2013 5.0 220k miles. same size and brand AT tires

We tow the same trailer 3000lbs the same route very often from LA to Ms. No matter the speed we get the same MPG 10-11mpg. I get 10mpg pulling my 4000lb boat at 60mph

His around town mpg is better than mine by 2-3mpg. He did have the cam phaser issue but ford fixed that

In a race, his truck with the trailer will smoke mine without. 5.0 feels like a turd after driving his truck.

This. EB will surprise you with the towing, better than the 5.0L.

I've had two and would buy another over the 5.0L.

Be equally concerned with the 10 speed transmission. Got rid of my 19 with only 29K because of it.
