No one should buy a diesel to save money! There is no way a base gas V6 drives the same as the Ecoboost or Ecodiesel in a 6000 pound truck. Is the base V6 acceptable to you? Maybe, but they do not drive the same.
Your right. I find the full throttle acceleration unacceptable in the ecodiesel. Both gassers are quicker for $4K LESS
Mind you, I'm not a luddite, and therefore higher revving engines that start in the extreme cold don't scare me.
For those who live above 6000ft, the accel numbers might be similar, but loaded or unloaded, with a 60hp advantage, the base V6's are quicker.
