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 ...

For what I do, I even think the 300HP 4.3 V6 GM uses would work in a 2500 truck. Link a 4.10 RA, 6l90 trans.....It would pull my typically 6-8K equipment trailer, sometimes as high as 12K lbs. No it will not be as fast as a Diesel, or the 6.0 gas V8 or equal.......I would have the chassis to do what I want, for the now many miles empty I drive, good mileage, bad when I tow, tell me when one tows and gets great MPG's. I used to do what I do today with a 255HP vortec 350, with a 105hp 292I6, muncie 4 sp and 4.10 gears. Now that were slow!
I do think some of todays more potent smaller motors would be good options for many of us frankly!
