yes it does, but my gas mileage would slip to 10-12 mpg anytime I hooked up a trailer.
heavily turbocharged engine gulps fuel when running at full boost

I just bought a new 2019 Lariat with the 3.5 EcoBoost. Now have about 3500 miles on it. I researched all of the Ford engines and decided the 3.5 would fit all of my needs. Even though I don't tow a lot, it has a 13,000 lb towing capacity. I'm getting 23.5 mpg on the highway and close to 20 in town. I love the torque when in high traffic areas. Good luck with you decision.

Towing with the V8 will also give you about 9-12 MPG....

I would not get an eco boost and especially not the small one. I’ve had to replace a turbo in my wife’s Explorer at a cost of $2,500. It’s not a great engine and you can hear it struggling.
I’ve got a 2019 F150 and opted for the 5.0 v8. I get about 18mpg average. I’d consider a diesel next but a 4 cylinder turbo is not something I’d ever consider.

Just get the kid the truck.
The comments here won’t help you.
The kid will love the fact that he has a truck. It isn’t something he is gonna have for 10 years anyways

Get the 5.0L V8 or even the 3.0L diesel.

I've got a 2015 Lariat with the 2.7
Currently have about 120,000 miles on it.
I haven't had the first problem with the 2.7 and I tow a 24' boat.
I have never thought it felt underpowered.
Its a solid setup imo.

2.7 ecoboost is fine for hauling groceries, garbage and girls.
WHERE DO YOU IDIOTS COME FROM? quote:
In full-out drag racing with empty beds, the little EcoBoost performed very close to the V-8s in both zero-to-60-mph and quarter-mile times. However, the benefits of the twin-turbos were really seen when it was running at wide-open throttle with a full payload of 1,240 pounds — it handily beat the Ram, Ford and Toyota V-8s.

That’s fine and dandy, but if you think only 5% of truck owners actually need a truck, an even smaller percentage is drag racing them.

His point didn't have much to do with drag racing.

Well I dunno where you got that fancy chart from, but no self-respecting American man should be driving a truck without a v8. That's what my pappy always said and he's the smartest man I know. Leave all that turbo shite for the rice-burners.

To be fair, is that towing something at about 9000 lbs weight? I mean I could tow a small boat and get probably 17 MPG. The heavier the load, the worse the MPG.

I have the 3.5 Eco and I suggest you get the V8.

I have a 2019 F150 w/5.0 V-8 - on the interstate at 70-75 mph I get 23 MPG and around town I get 18-19 mpg. Why get a turbo?
Posted on 12/30/19 at 3:39 pm to Ambassador
I had the exact same truck and highly recommend it. Im in the repair business if that holds any weight with you. If not that truck Id recommend a Tundra.

Because the 2.7 is lighter and easier on the front end and tires.
