Looking like I'll end up with a used 2021 truck. I'm thinking about fuel economy primarily. Any engine would probably be fine for my use cases. I'm considering the Powerboost, 2.7L, or 3.5L, in that order, but the hybrid may be priced out of my budget, TBD.
We plan to take long trips in this with our ~3000lb popup; definitely not large by truck standards, but it's pushing my minivan limits. It's wide, but roughly the height of the tailgate.
I'll keep it to 70mph with the trailer, if speed limit allows.
Will the hybrid help any on a towing trip like this? Will the 2.7L stay in boost and kill mileage? Will the 3.5 stay out of boost and be better? Generally speaking of course. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
