I am excited about this truck because it will finally prove to the diesel heads on this site that horsepower matters more than torque and show them that a 3.0 turbo diesel will get flat out smoked up a hill with a trailer when compared to a 3.5 turbo gasser.

I don't see a whole lot of purpose to it, but I guess time will tell if it sells.

That wouldn't be a fair comparison since the Ecoboost also has 420 lbs of torque with a whopping 365 horsepower.

A good comparison would be the older 2009/2010 Ford F150 with the 5.4L (310 hp/365 #'s torque) and 6 speed trans and the previous gen Chevy 5.3L (315 hp/335 #s torque) with it's newer 6 speed transmission. The 3.0L diesel may take them both off the line but will fall far behind once the other trucks' horsepower overtakes the low horsepower of the 3.0L.
