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.

The torque at the rear wheels is what's going to pull it up the hill. The higher hp will allow the truck to multiply the torque. If the ECO Boost's hp makes it pull so well, hook it to 30,000 pounds beside a HD Ram Cummins with the same hp and see how well it fairs up the hills for a hundred thousand miles.
