It might be. I think the F150 is more of a work truck and the occasional offroader. (Weather you get the ecoboost or 5.0) Where the Raptor is more of a offroader and the occasional work truck. If I were to get a Raptor it would for sure be the 6.2 and not the 5.4.

My boss has a new F-150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost and loves it. He pulls his fishing boat, various trailers with no problem. He replaced an older GMC pickup with a 6ish liter and said the ecoboost pulls better and runs better. Ford saved about 900 lbs with the aluminum.
But as far as pulling, many won't put the demands on the truck you will. Pulling a boat occasionally vs. working a farm is quite a bit different.

Chris,I have a 2015 with the ecoboost,I believe it has more power and torque then the 5.0 and the twin turbos sound nice
