Lol looks like you have plenty of feedback. I've driven a 2018 & 2019 F-150 with the V6 a couple of different times. The V6 is too small of an engine for the truck. To get up to highway speed you have to really get on it. I can't see the motor or tranny lasting a long time having to run it like that. No way I would go with the V6. I have the 3.5 ecoboost and it's awesome.

I have driven my V6 3.5 EcoBoost for about 18 months. It has more pep than my previous 5.4 V8 and gets much better gas mileage. I get 19MPG real-world average (75% city / 25% highway) in my 3.5 vs 13MGP real-world in my 5.4. I get 23MPG to 25MGP on straight highway in eco mode.

With the 3.55 rear end, the 3.5 has slightly less towing specs than the 5.4, but not by much. However, I would have stayed with a V8 if I towed a lot.

Also, I went with the E Lock rear end rather than 4WD... 2WD rides better and gets better gas mileage. With E Lock I can lock in positraction to pull up a ramp or to get through a little soft ground (this is all I need). The E Lock was a $430 add... 4WD was about a $4,000 add.

Just my two cents.

I thought the Ecoboost was a V6.

It is but it's turbo charged vs the standard v6 isn't.
