Can't compare to WV cause I have never been there.
Live in the foothills of southern Alberta,drive in the Rocky Mountains a lot.
Steep elevation changes,drop into valleys gotta come back up....switchbacks too.
There really is no comparison to any V8 I have ever owned...from several 5.4L,to a not so stock Chevy 6.0L.
Takes a lot to make it shift down where as the V8s drop a gear and rev.
Loaded or unloaded it just hauls...and it does it so quietly it's scary...
The Ecoboost is the only reason I bought another F150.

What octane fuel do you use while in the mountains. 85 is the norm for high alt. Do you run 85,86 of stick with 87. I'll be purchasing an at sealevel Lariat that will be used a couple of times a year int he very high Rockies. I used 85 in my '04 5.4 pulling 2100#, toting 750#s with 3 adults and an 80# dog. No problems with knock.
Thanks for your reply.
