Ecoboost engine question
With the Eco doing so well and loved by many and bragged about by Ford. Why is it not offered in the F250 ? I love mine but I'm curious.

The 5.7L Hemi was put through 300 hrs of full load full throttle 5300 rpm dyno testing during R&D. I believe and my experience has shown the newer gas engines to be a lot tougher than we give them credit for. The 3.5L Ecoboost is no different. I believe it went through the paces as depicted in the commercial. Read no more or less into it though. The creative mind can deceive and advertisers know this very well. Remember the Hemi ads? People confused them a lot and the writers knew they would.
Couldn't agree more.
A lot of folks still have 1970s-1980s gassers in mind when they declare longevity to still be an advantage of diesel.
Diesel does have its advantages, but long engine life is not exclusive to diesel engines anymore.
As a consumer, assuming proper maintenance, I'd expect 250,000mi+ out of any modern gasoline truck engine and would be very disappointed if it came up short.
