Why not put turbos on 2500 gas trucks
I hear all these great reviews on the Eco-Boost engine and all the power it creates. Somewhere I read a few years back it had more HP and torque then my 2500 HD gas. Why doesn't Ford or Chevy offer ...

I was just talking about this at work today. I think a small V-8 wit ha turbo would be ideal. Maybe a 4.7 or 5.0 with 400-450hp, and 450ftlb or torque would be a great motor when you don't want to go all the way to a diesel.
It's proven in the 3.5 Eco-boost to be reliable, powerful, and economical. You get the fuel economy of a 3.5 when unloaded, but you've got the power when needed.
Honda did the same on the CR-V we bought my wife. Went from a 2.4 to a 1.5 turbo, and increased power and fuel economy.
