I don't 'need' 400/800 for any trailer we are likely to buy. But the Ecodiesel and Ecoboost, nice packages though they may be, aren't *quite* enough for the family sized trailers. And I do use my truck as a daily driver, so I'd like at least reasonable fuel economy when not towing. So I can see a niche for this truck, as long as the numbers match up.
Hmmmm, the 3.5L EcoB in a HD Payload F150 would be a close competitor to the 5L Nissan Cummins and probably a lot cheaper. We'll have to see when the final figures come out.
Anyway, those are the two we'll be looking at closely when we start looking for a new truck.
And by the way, MotorTrend/TruckTrend just put out a quick review of the Nissan Cummins. They talk about the
rear 10.5-inch live axle, which is the same unit as in the Ram Power Wagon
