the ecoboost is Ford's option for People that don't tow/haul very often but still need a truck. The Ecoboost gives you the gas mileage of the mid range engines, but the towing power of the big 6.2 for when you need to haul/tow

The ecoboost is rated at 16/22 in a 2wd, the 6.2 is rated at 13/18 in a 2wd. Thats the way Ford chose to about it, they went the turbo small engine route.

GMs new 5.3 is pretty impressive as well, giving very good MPG and still offering very impressive towing figures.

Different strokes for different folks, similar to how lots of people like to argue O/H/V vs DOHC

It's just my opinion, but if your towing something right at the max for either the GM or Ford often, you should be looking at a heavy duty
