I just sold my f150 with the 5.0 in it and I am shopping for a truck with the 3.5 ecoboost this time. This will be my daily driver, also used on highway family or hunting trips, pulling a SxS to the deer lease, and a boat to the lake. Which rear end would you guys recommend the 3.31 or the 3.55. My local dealer is trying to keep me local with a good price, but he has to locate the truck and the one he found has the 3.31. Any of the green screen have this setup and pull light loads?

I pulled a 16ft Ranch king with my 3.5 eco and 3.31 gears and it did fine. Gas mileage sucks but what can you do. -
I have the 5.0 with 3.31. While it pulls fine, the shift point for 9th gear while towing is right at 70. Unless I set cruise control to 73, any hill will cause the truck to downshift to 7th. Not a big deal really but I would have preferred the 3.55 just for this.
My previous truck was a ‘15 3.5EB with 3.55. It had the 6spd. The turbos would suck some gas, but it didn’t downshift much.Comment

I have the 3.5 with Max Tow package. It has the 3.55 and I average 18-19 normal driving. Towing with it has been limited but I liked the way it towed our 23' cat.Comment

I think you will be fine with the 3.31. I would make sure you get the electronic locking diff also.Comment
