I have a 2013 F150 Lariat HD.

I can vouch for the F150 ecoboost mileage that was reported earlier in the thread. I routinely get about 15-16L/100km city driving and right around 24L/100km towing a 26ft trailer.

While the "tow ratings" are really high on half tons, you are almost always limited by the payload capacity of your truck. the rating might say it is north of 10,000 pounds, but unless your trailer floats behind you the real limit will be a lot closer to 6-7000 pounds. due to the rating of your rear axle. Generally speaking as you move up in trim level, you move down in payload.

I am sold on Ford Trucks, Out of the three F150's I have owned I have never had any issues with any of them.
