Ram Eco-Diesel vs F150 2.7 TT - Davis Dam
You just know it's not gonna be close! So which is better? Horsepower or torque lol. (The answer is both, apparently.)

Debate over something as insignificant as the price of an oil change is hilarious.
Yeah, if $100/yr is enough to sway your decision one way or the other, so be it, I guess. But I bet the overall maintenance costs between the ED and either EB (or other 1/2 ton engines) for most average users following the recommended maintenance schedules will be less than the cost of a tank of fuel. Or not enough to worry about, in other words.
I do not understand the argument that the 2.7 and the ED are not competitors. They are going to be the only 1/2 tons w/ 25+ mpg highway towing ratings (just my guess, the 2.7 will be rated at 25 or 26 highway). So I would think they are direct competitors -- anyone looking to maximize fuel economy out of a 1/2 ton but wanting competent occasional towing is going to be pitting these drivetrains directly against one another, I would think. FWIW, both seem like pretty good options to me.
