Ecoboost
My intentions are good and I don't want to start a large debate but here goes:

I have a 303 rks but considering an "option" of a new TV. I was wondering, suppose my 9,000 lb Tt (think that number is 500lbs high).

Do you think max tow/payload ecoboost would tow ok with atv in bed of truck?

even with the HD Ecoboost, that's asking too much of a 1/2 ton pickup.
