The 5.0 has the same HP as the eco(minus 5) but you will have to access it differently.

quite the gap in torque across the entire rpm range. the engines arent comparable, they were built for different purposes. The 6.2 is more comparable to the EB than the 5.0

Lot of threads about HP VS. Torque. If you stomped on both of them with a similar load the results wouldn't be much different at the top of the hill. The eco would run generally lower rpm though.

There can be lots of threads about anything, I have owned both trucks with each of the drive trains that are in discussion.

Riddle me this, on the same 7% grade highway under the same load and weight. Why does my EB hold 65mph in cruise control and my 5.0 downshifted multiple gears and slowed to 40mph for the entire climb? Your argument is as ridiculous as the guy saying his 5.0 doesn't downshift on hills in 40mph winds. I don't live in indiana, I travel and camp the Adirondack, finger lake, white mountain, and Appalachian regions.

I've owned both, I've hauled heavy loads in the bed with both, I've towed heavy with both, I've towed the same highways with both.

Have you?
