Interesting. I have a 2018 HDPP F150 with the 3.5 EB. Not sure why'd I'd choose the diesel over gas given the same chassis. I'd expect a higher payload with the gas motor. The gas motor makes plenty at 375/470 and tows my 8500 lb trailer very well.
Higher up front and maintenance costs but better fuel mileage might not be enough to sway me. Might be a better choice in the non-HDPP truck. Now if it had been a 5.0 liter and delivered 350/600 I'd be all over it. Unless Ford did what Nissan did and made the Titan with a **** payload. I want to see 2300+ payload worst case.
