I traded my 2019 GT for a 2020 F150 shortbed crewcab 4x4, and drove both the 2.7 and the 5.0 and preferred the 5.0 power, not that it felt substantially better than the 2.7 but the way it came on felt better. I knew as soon as I drove it the 2.7 would pull anything and everything I will tow. I did not drive the 3.5 but have spent a lot of time in EcoBeast Expedition's and know the fugg'ers will haul ass when boosted.
I didn't consider the 3.5 because a good friend and my brother both report the mileage sucks especially when towing and unloaded when they are making boost. My brother stated there is no question the 3.5 tows better than the 5.0 but mileage is worse towing and he pulls a TT all the time.
I realize this is an engine conversation but this is my first Ford pickup in my life and so far it's fine, not my favorite and the SuperDuty blows it way for looks but I didn't need or want another 3/4 ton pickup, a diesel or definitely not another big gas motor for a daily driver.
