I had the V8 in my 2010 F150 and the 3.5 Ecoboost in my 2018. Both performed very well for me. Not much towing. Put 150,000 mi on the V8 and at 55,000 mil on the 2018. About 4 mpg better overall with the Ecoboost, and I don't have any sense of missing the "power." 2018 feels quicker and I am not someone who feels the need for hearing the real rumble of the V8. I've been towing a travel trailer for the last year, and the Ecoboost has performed great. I went with the Powerboost in my 2021 order (still waiting) based on the numbers and towing, although the reduced payload/tongue weight is a bit of a concern that I realized from this board after my order last fall.
