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.)

Just got my latest Trailer Life mag. They did a test of a Ram 1500 Ed and a Lance 1995 TT. Lance is 9'9"Hx8'x23'9". Weighed 4860lbs.
The Ram ED has 3.92 gears and is the Outdoorsman model. It got 22mpg solo and 12.6mpg towing. About the same as an Eco Ford.
Shocking!
Or not......
Nice try, but the 22 would be the city mileage and your Eco Ford might be able to hit that on the highway with a good tail wind.
Even if you don't like the data presented, at least acknowledge that the source has very little perceived bias,, if anything, the author tends to favor diesels and the data is comparably generated relative to the other data from other vehicle. Fact is, that is not great towing mileage for that combo.
Driven conservatively, the ecoboost engines can get excellent mileage. Eco or boost, pick one, right?
