Not sure what trim levels Ford will be putting the 3.0 diesel in but Ram sells them in ever trim level for the entry Tradesman with vinyl floor to the loaded Limited. The up charge is $4750 the same as it was in 2014 when they cam out.
As for the fuel mileage debate, My truck runs mid 27 to 28 mpg @ 77 MPH and I will bet the Ford will be the same. The Ecoboost not even the 2.8 can come anywhere near that @ 77 mph. The faster/harder you run the boost the more that twin turbo drinks and if you are following Ford's own recommendation of mid grade gas (when towing) the cost is the same or higher then diesel.
Sorry boys but until you actually own one and tow with it you are only spewing rubbish.

Oh BTW where are all those clowns that told me Ford and GM will never build a small diesel! You know back when I said with in four years both will be following FCA?Ram with their own offering? Where you boys at? I can't what to see GM's offering, IMO they got it right going with a in-line six and their ten speed! Why to go GM!
