One of the key advantages to a diesel is mpg under a load.I would like to see a side by side tow test, nationwide, both trucks lugging the same travel trailer. This would be a great way to compare say a 3D to a Eco boost. I know for a fact that a small displacement turbo v6 can be a thirsty beast indeed. So far with a 4k coach and heavy cross winds and not even 2k miles on truck, tow MPG over approx. 17mpg! My 2008 ford 5.4 would have been in the 9mpg at best.
I agree.
Over the last 10K miles towing my ~8K trailer all over N.America the 3.5L EcoBoost has given me 10.4 mpgUS. But a lot of that has been using Premium gas. With regular I would probably be under 10 mpgUS.
What would a 5L Cummins diesel in the Titan XD do? The low-end 4x2 might just have the payload to tow my trailer (just like my current F150). And a 4x4 King Cab might also. I would love to find out. 13mpgUS towing?
Just wish they had implemented the turbo exhaust brake. Besides mileage, that's another reason I wouldn't mind moving away from the EcoBoost.
Your Ecodiesel mileage with that 4K# trailer is awesome.
