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.

Yes not the ideal tow vehicle as far as capacity. But I just towed with my 2012 ecoboost and 24 ft intech trailer for 3000 miles. 65-70 mph. Got no less than 10 mpg. And no more than 10mpg. Lol
