Just want to know what other's experience is. And what others with the Eco had done to adjust to mountain driving with one. Would like to have some idea before I get there.
I have the last truck I ever intend to own. I'm 70 now, and don't know how many more years I'm going to be towing a trailer. I don't need a diesel for my normal towing here in the eastern US, pulling the trailer I currently have, which is probably the last trailer I'll ever get. Don't need or want anything larger.
And there are really no big blocks out there available in 1/2 sized trucks. The Ford 5.0 is not a big block, but probably does give a little better engine braking, but it will not pull up mountains as well as my Eco.

Go to Fast Lane Truck. They have done some tests.
But I’m not sure why you are asking if you already ruled out getting a diesel or getting a V8. What else is left?
