Not sure what you're asking, but Ford introduced their 3.5L twin turbo V6 in 2011. It has direct injection with 365 HP and produces 420 lbs of torque at 2500 rpm's. It coupled with a six speed trans and a 3.73 non-slip rear end is impressive to tow with. In a F150 this set up has a 11,500 pound tow capacity.

I recently used mine in to tow my TM through the Eastern Sierras and went over both Sherwin and Deadman's Summit (8300 ft & 8500 ft). I used my cruise control and never dipped below 62 MPH, could have gone 75 if I wanted to.
