The Ram is a premium engine engineered for consistent fuel economy.

The EcoBoost 2.7 is first of all, not the top level engine, so you can't really compare it to the Ram EcoDiesel 3.0. Different market niches.

The 2.7 EB is clearly engineered for max power on demand, with fuel economy as a secondary, mostly marketing driven made-up selling point.

Why sure they can... Ford is displaying that it's 2.7 EB can out perform the 3.0 ED (VM Motori)in a towing race. If RAM disagrees with this test they're big boys and can produce they're video showing otherwise (I would recommend RAM marketing to leave out some of their so called engineers like in their HD video's).

Some call it Ford advertising and discredit the test and that's fine to take it with a grain of salt, but I've seen enough to conclude the Ford 2.7 EB can simply out tow the 3.0 ED hands down.

Game Over...:W

I am not going to say the ecoboost isn't a fine product, but it is. I am not saying that the VM diesel is better, either. But, in my opinion, if I am spending MSRP $45k for a new truck for my precious family, I don't care how fast it will race up a hill.

Everyone is partial to something on this forum, and people have their ways. It leads to entertaining debates on threads like this.
