All these half ton owners that have a GM 5.3L, GM 6.2L, Ford 5.0L, Ford Ecoboost, Ram 5.7L or Toyota 5.7L are all stupid because they will never recoup the cost in fuel over the base engine. So are all of those V8 Camaro/Mustang/Challenger owners because they will never recoup the cost over the V6.
Yes, it sounds this stupid to an HD diesel owner when an HD gasser owner says they will never recoup their money.
As long as your ecoboost can tow a 15K 5'er we got a deal.
But if it can't it's no use to me.:W.
Now if you want to compare your towing MPG to mine we can talk.
I purchased my dually to tow my fiver. It does that job very well.
All other considerations and capabilities are including MPG's are not really important to me in the long run.
