I guess being a newer design they have also had some bugs they haven’t worked out. The 3.5 is what 7 years going on 8 now with how much R&D done ok it before it went into production and with the recent update and placement into the raptor. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the 3.5 ecoboost.

I would, after seeing one implode towing a 6k holiday trailer with 130k on the clock, pulling a small hill on the outskirts of Strathmore.
Stressed out V6 on steroids. Maybe fine for daily driving. Work it - well, you've been warned.
