I towed with my 150 Eco Boost for the whole 2015 season, around 35 thousand miles. From Florida to Ohio to Indy and back. 24' Motorsport Trailer pretty loaded up. Power was not a problem what -so- ever. But, I'd say towing capacity was pretty maxed out. Sometimes changing lanes being passed by a big truck all by its self. I'd say it pretty much lived up to all the Ford TV ads ... One problem, fuel mileage. It was great - not towing, but loaded up and hitched up, oh boy, I averaged around seven miles per gallon at 65mph. Anything over 70 mph, closer to 6 mpg. A bed capper and turbo wing really helped out. But if you're gonna "tour" at all, I'd look for a little more truck.
