They are both 1500 pickups. They both have very expensive motors in them. They are both VERY expensive 1500 pickups. They are both meant to tow and come with tow packages. The Ford EB is a fuel saver towing rig and so is the Dodge ED. (that is what they are marketed as)
They are in exact direct competition with each other.
Believe me, the mags will do a tow test with these two and a GM. Why? Because they are all in competition with each other. :) If they do GM better pray that they do the test at low altitude. :B
Good post, I find it incredibly frustrating the mythical "torque" vs horsepower.
As far as the engines being expensive, the 2.7 EB will be the entry level engine option, one notch above the now questionable base 3.5L engine. So we are looking at the 2.7~$1000, standard on most models though, vs the $4000 EB. I predict the 2.7 gets the same combined mileage rating as the ED.
