Anyone towing with a 2.7 EcoBoost?

Can it with the 2.7?

Sometimes diesel costs more than gas and sometimes it costs less. It always gives you better MPG and resale, though.

Yeah, the 2.7L can be optioned with a 37 gallon tank and the biggest tank you can get with the Ecodiesel is a 27 gallon tank.

It is true that most of the higher up front cost of the diesel will come out as a wash in resale, but I am one of those that think you should pay more for an engine to get more power and capability, not less.

I don't disagree with that sentiment at all - if I were buying a half ton tomorrow, it would have the 3.5 Eco in it. I wanted a little more truck than that, though, and when you move to the bigger diesels you do get more power and capability.

That 37 gallon tank would cause some bladder discomfort on road trips.
