A 2.7 ecoboost tows my 21' glass boat with ease, I think the 3.5 will be fine. This. I just bought a 2.7. The dealer let me take it home one weekend to see how it pulled my boat. No problem towing it up and down the hills of Alabama.
He is truly a sick individual.

Stopping it can be an issue if you donโt have trailer brakes. Pulls a 22 Majek Extreme fine. Plenty of power. About 10 to 12 mpg.

Stopping is only an issue if you start getting north of the 6,000 lb range. But that rig with 3.55 or 3.73 gears should handle most anything up to about 24โ both pulling and stopping without issues.

That's the engine that I have in my F-150 but haven't towed with it yet. I have no doubt it'll do it and more. We took the maiden voyage to AR with it loaded down in the bed and back seat just recently and I got 19.8mi/gal on the highway. I was happy with that.

I have had a 3.5 Ecco Boost and it pulled excellent. It pulled better than my 5.3 and excellent passing power.
I was wondering about the 2.7. They are pushing 325hp.
