Ford might as well take the hitch off and cover the bed. No one is going to buy a $68K half ton that is overloaded when towing with family in the vehicle.

This truck, like many, is simply for CAFE fleet standards and aimed at commuters who go to home depot on the weekends for a plant.

Anyone that pays $68k for a half ton needs their head examined, I agree. But $65k of wherever you got that price from is what the same Ecoboost would cost.
So, yeah, a little more $, less hp, but let's not pretend the truck is expensive becasue it's a diesel. It's just expensive.
