That ecoboost is the next best thing to towing witha diesel, as it tows just like a diesel.
BUT if you tow with it. say good bye to your fuel mileage. it will DRINK fuel at an alarming rate. But will snort up any hill you can find like no bodies business. Its an impressive engine.

When I towed a buddies 18 ft inboard bayliner to Rock island, I got 14 L / 100
Not too bad I think. Fairly heavy boat. Hardly new it was there. With the Ecoboost.
