I think the truck to beat right now is the Ecoboost with the high payload and great torque. For those of us that don't need to haul 20K lbs trailers up a 30% incline, the Ecoboost is an awesome combo. I don't own one yet, but in a couple of years when its time to look at a new truck, its currently at the top of my list.

I disagree. This drivetrain has so many issues and now a government investigation into those issues, I'd wait until Ford finally finds a fix with a new designed intercooler. Until a permanent fix is issued, this engine is tarnishing the Ford name with reliability problems. I think the engine to beat right now is the 6.2L from Ford (or a HD Payload 5.0L Crew 4WD) and then the upcoming GM direct injection 6.2L with 420HP and 450 lbs of torque (even if I can't stand GM :) ).
