Seeing FORD is offering it as an option and it has a heavier GCVWR than the Ecoboost
Ford does get it.
Diesels also weigh more than a gas engine. Over at Ford's website the max tow figures for the F150 are still quoted with the Ecoboost 3.5.
We can argue about tow values but the GCVWR is higher. That GCVWR is part of the general build specifications
I notice Itguy08 is now listed as posting this
Not this again? :S
I already told you the last time that GCWR of the 3.0L diesel is not higher that the Ecoboost and even posted where you can find the information.
Here is the link again...

Page 289-298 clearly shows that the 3.5L Ecoboost has the higher GCWR with 18,400 lbs than the 17,100 lbs of the 3.0L diesel. This is a no brainier since the current 3.5L Ecoboost is probably lighter, and also has over 100 hp and 25 lb-ft more than the 3.0L diesel's current configuration in overseas markets.
