Greetings, Here is an article on the Gas Titan XD from TFL. Key part is that the Gas version will have about 500 lbs more payload. And the motor is all aluminum alloy... Link Thanks...

Last week I read a road test of a Titan XD. It was a Cummins and the tester said he was trying for good fuel economy, running 65 mph on cruise control, and the best he could get was 16 mpg on the highway.
That's only about 1 mpg better than a gasser F250 Crew 4WD 3.73 I was considering. The F250 was cheaper and handled much more payload. The truck was only about $2K more than my F150 so I considered it a bargain. Unfortunately Mileage was to bad to consider even though I loved the truck with the 6.2L.
The new F150 has 1890# payload and 10,900 lbs of towing. More than enough for the largest trailer that would overload the 11,100/1,110# hitch rating. Then I'd still have a few hundred lbs of payload left.
With a weight of only 5110 lbs with a 385 Hp and 387# torque, that's equivalent to a HD truck weighing at 7150# to have 539 Hp @ 5750 rpm and 542# torque @ 3850 rpm.
Downfall is the weight of the truck is light and will be manhandled by a trailer that's not pulling good. So it will need to have the hitch adjusted correctly and the trailer loaded correctly.
So far with only 1000 mile I'm getting between 18.5 and 19.0 mpg with MIXED town, expressway driving.
