The 3.5 boost is a more powerful engine and tows great. The 5.0 also tows really well. It is really a powerful engine too. I doubt that you’ll lose any capability. You just won’t have quite as much response with the coyote. Much simpler engine than the boosted 3.5….
I just test drove both. 22’s. I did hook up a 3500 lb trailer and tow it around a bit. No wdh. Neither really outshined the other unless you floor it then the 3.5 has a little more go go. If I remember correctly, the towing ratings were about the same. Just watch payloads. They can be mighty low with a loaded 1/2 ton. I personally was leaning towards the coyote until I drove a ram….and got the ram employee discount making the choice easier.
A mechanic told me that the 5.0 got better mileage than the ecoboost when towing heavy with all things being equal…no idea how true that is.

More HP and more torque in the 3.5. Best tow vehicle I've owned was the f150 with the 3.5 eco and the max towing package. I now own a Ram 2500 with the 5.7 and it'll tow, but not like that f150.

I'd stay clear of a 2019 5.0 Coyote, unless you like adding nearly a quart of oil every fuel fill up. Ford refuses to recall and fix the problem that everyone is having with it. They do offer a new dipstick as a "fix" It has a longer section of hash masks on it so that you think that it is only one quart low when it is actually two quarts low. All the newer trucks are garbage no matter the name on the badge.

I bought a F250 with a 6.2 new in 2019 and it’s the best truck I’ve ever had. I’m knocking on wood right now. Lol
Looks like he needs another year;-)
