My 2.7 ecoboost tows a heavy load incredibly. In fact, that's exactly where it shines! It has amazing power right where it's needed. Unlike V8's that have to rev way up to pull.
The block is a tough, long wearing graphite/iron and the pistons/rings are very heavy duty. They are not light duty and are not prone to wear or failure.
