No personal experience but I got a new F150 recently with the 5.0. From what I致e read it will do fine. Compared to the other engines in the lineup it痴 pretty weak but when you look at its numbers it痴 pretty strong. Unless you are towing heavy you will like it.

My 1980 F2510 400 ci, 6.2L engine made 130 hp. LOL. This new F150 with a 3.3L can out pull, out haul, and out whatever that old 3/4 ton truck.

The base 3.3 F150 is a very capable truck for light duty use. As others mentioned, would out-perform many V8 trucks from years back. Should yield great gas mileage, and have very reasonable ownership (maintenance) costs. The 3.3 still uses the 6AT, vs the new 10AT for all the other engines. The 6AT is a solid performer as well, I currently have that in my '15 2.7 XLT, and it's been bullet-proof in 40K miles so far, along with the engine. All the current engine options for the F150 are solid, and can be well matched to what you intend to do with the truck. If you've never driven the 2.7 Ecoboost F150, it will blow your mind. The performance coming out of 164ci is crazy. I originally test drove mine thinking it was a joke. I don't think my mouth closed for at least 30 minutes. Will be swapping leases for an '18 model this spring, and yes, it'll be another 2.7.
