I currently tow my boat with a 2006 F150 125k miles, towing capacity of 9000lbs. Boat and trailer weight is around 7500 pounds with it loaded. Truck does ok pulling it to and from ramp but its getting stressed pretty bad while loading the boat. The truck will rock back and creaks everytime while loading the boat. So I started looking at the new F150 Eco boost with max towing, 12,200lbs and the F250 gas max towing of 12,500lbs. I would have no fear of pulling my boat with either but am I going to experience the same rock back and creaking with the new F150 when loading as I do with the old? Don't want to get F250 unless absolutely needed. Could save some money going with the F150 ecoboost.
