Do you mean 3.7L?

The 3.5L Eco is a twin-turbo. It produces lots of power versus the 3.7L which is the least powerful (up to 300hp) and cheapest engine Ford produces for this truck. The 3.7L gets the best MPG, but HP per mpg, the 3.5L is the winner.

Different strokes for different folks. The Ecoboost is $2k more than the 3.7L. If you only care about saving money, get the 3.7L. If you want a lot of power and want to save some money compared to other engines with similar power, get the EB.

Test drive them both and decide what is best for you.
