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 ...

You'll never get the fuel economy under a load that diesels will. ALL big trucks are diesels for a reason. Diesels generally outlast gas engines too.
For short term ownership, gas engines are more cost efficient.
A gas motor truck will pull all your stuff, a diesel will do it a LOT better, its up to you whether it's worth the price for twice the torque. That's why they offer both.
I wouldn't call the Cummins overrated. It's been around about 30 years providing extremely reliable power in tractors, school busses, medium duty trucks and pickups.
Look at the hotshot haulers. They almost all run Cummins trucks. Those and the old Ford 7.3 diesels have very good track records.
I've never seen one run a gas truck.
I own two 4x4 duallies, one gas, one diesel. I'm not on one team. This is just how it is.
