Ford 2.7 Ecoboost - power question
This looks like a great engine at 325HP. That is about the same power as my trusty 5.9 Cummins ISB. On edit: If each engine is in a 1 ton chassis and matched to it's proper transmission and re...

Lots of theories here on what does what, but hook 10,000 lbs behind my 345 HP Duramax and 10,000 lbs behind your ecoboost, and I will stop and wait for you when I get up to the Eisenhower Tunnel at the top of the pass. I will drive the speed limit, and you will wish you could. Argue all you want, but I have never had a gasser pulling a trailer pass me going up the mountain. I don't "race" up the hill, I just follow the speed limits.
Sorry but you are mistaken.
#1, why does your Dmax only have 345HP?
#2, here is a vid you might want to watch. It was posted earlier but you might have missed it.
#3, 6.4 diesel towing 15K.
As you can see from the vid's above, both the Ecoboost and the 6.4 diesel pulled the hill at 50MPH. The 6.4 diesel is renowned for it's pulling power because it's a "diesel". But when pointed out that the EB puts out about the same HP, people say things like: "I will stop and wait for you when I get up to the Eisenhower Tunnel at the top of the pass" just because they own a diesel. :h
You may wait on him or he may wait on you but with both of these engines putting out about the same HP it's going to be VERY close either way.
BTW, if you only have 345HP you might what to take your truck back to the dealer and get your other 20 or so HP they left off of your engine. ;)
