Pulled my Sunny with my EcoBoost first time

I gotta say, I couldn't be happier with going for the EcoBoost. Plenty of power for the big hills coming back from Full Throttle Marine and I never felt like the boat was pushing the truck around on big turns.
Stopping power is very good as well. Enough so that I thought my brakes were working on the trailer. Took it right to Discount Tire for new tires, as soon as the tires were off I saw my brake lines hanging. Apparently they broke loose and judging from the rust on the discs...they have been inactive for a loooong time. But the truck handled it just fine. I guess my EoH isn't an upgrade anymore and now a necessity.
Very glad I didn't go with an F-250 or 2500. The EcoBoost is a great ride for every day work and handles the boat perfectly. All while getting 12 MPG from Spicewood with all the hills. I imagine the ride to Kemah should do easily more than 12.

I thought for sure I'd need airbags but I think she's balanced pretty well.
