I don't see much practical advantage over the base Ecoboost. Not much MPG gain, much more potential headache.
Much like the EcoDiesel vs Pentastar. Drive them back to back, the Pentastar is faster and can tow nearly the same amount of weight. Just a few MPG difference on the highway. Never mind the high premium to go with the Babystroke or the EcoDiesel.
These new gas V6 trucks are bargains. Great economy and decent power.
Thanks!

Well as an owner of a EcoD and having driven many a 3.5 Ram V-6 I can tell you first hand the EcoD wins hands down in every segment!
With any diesel off the line power can not be touched by a gasser. As far as towing goes, the little EcoD will run circles around the Pentastar both in towing comfort and fuel economy.
The only place a NA V-6 gas engine should be is in a car not a pickup! Now when FCA finally gets around to adding turbos to the Pentastar then we will have something. But that's not going to happen until the Big Italian Weenie retires and takes his millions with him.
