Finally, there is the big question: Who needs a pickup with 675hp? Other than to make your ego feel better, it is completely unnecessary for a tow vehicle.
You answered your own question there. How many people have big engines because they NEED all the power from it? Now, how many people have big engines so that they can feel better about themselves by putting down people that have "grocery getters" or gas engines?
How many people actually haul 15K lbs up the Rocky Mountains? How many people do it more than once?
How many OTR truckers hauled massive amounts of goods over those mountains with an anemic gas engine back in the 60's and 70's?
That's what makes Ford's ecoboost line interesting. They are trying to sooth the egos of grocery getter buyers with a big HP rating while giving them the economy of a smaller engine.
But trying to take HP up above 600hp is just getting silly.
