And your Dmax has 650 ft lbs. that's the kind of power that could be easily had out of a direct injection turbo V8. And I bet they could get it to drop 4 cyl while cruising then you got your 2.5L engine back for economy.
I'm not a Ford guy but the Eco and the 5.0 hit it out of the park as far as gassers go.

How many times does it have to be said? I guess one more time: Torque is NOT power! :R

To hold that kind of torque at 400HP would take one of Fords best tranny's made. Think SD tranny. It would also take one hellofa rear end. Think SD rear end.
Oops, there goes your gas mileage. :B
