Test drove a 13 f150 kr 6.5 ft 3.55 very nice truck,when I drove on to ramp and stepped on it,to the floor,it did not down shift,seemed odd,drove about 10 mi each direction, 60mph = 18.5 with lite breeze on back, 70 mph = 16.2 into breeze, I drive about 18k miles a year,60/40 town vs hwy,pull a 2500-3000lb boat 2000 mi max,my truck now is 11 chev. Crew 5.3 4x4 3:42 good mpg14-15 city 18-20 hwy,but does not pull that boat into a headwind worth a darn,I do know ecoboost pulls,but if a guy has all that torque and hp at 1700 rims why would you need 3:73 unless you where pulling a lot and very heavy loads,dealer was also telling me guys where getting 17-18 pulling fishing boats 1500-2000lbs , he also stated that if a tuner was used warranty might not be there,truck comp.tracks everything,looking for advice,live in mn always cold. Thanks
