One other positive of a heavy half with the ecoboost is forced induction. To get forced induction on a 3/4 ton truck you have to get a Diesel.
Now, is a Diesel 3/4 ton truck more expensive than an Ecoboost with the max payload? Maybe.. Depends on how they are optioned. Right now our local Ram dealership has 2500 Ram Tradesmen crew cabs with the 6.7 in the low $40k range. I have seen a lot of loaded up 2015 F150's selling for 50k plus.
Just wanted to mention that because the disparity in price for the class of truck isn't really that much.

It really isn't much of a disparity. I paid $39 for the truck in my sig last month. That still seems like a lot for a new truck to me but I'd have a hard time getting an F150 with max tow and HD payload for any less. And I got a lot more truck out if the deal.
