Congrats on the new ride man.

You won't be towing the boat a lot or very long distances often I take it?

ETA: Also, don't go and try to tow 11,300 with that truck either BTW. That 11,300 rating is only for single cab/long bed + ecoboost + 3.73(?) final drive ratio configured trucks.

Dad just bought the 2012 Ecoboost and loves it. Drives from Tickfaw to Geismar for work and needed the good mpg. He pulls his bad boy and trailers his Goldwing but I'm still working on getting him to get a boat. It's a lot cheaper than ME getting a boat

I was concerned about the supercharger wreaking havoc on engine life but my buddy that works on cars said factory ones can actually increase it due to low workloads. Good purchase.

No, maybe every weekend every other month during summer to Tickfaw or Amite River (I work 28 & 28). I got the Crew Cab not the Super Crew. Looked at all the other towing on vehicles and this was rated highest but I wont be pulling that kind of weight. I am estimating 21-23 on highway, the Tacoma I just got rid of got 18 headed to TN so I figured I would get a full size, more room better towing and better fuel mileage.
