Sure, the EB gets a little better mpg than a V8 under cruise conditions, but make it work hard and it gets really thirsty.
This is the concept of the Ecoboost...
Drive it gentle and it gets decent fuel economy.
Need power, put your foot in it and the power is there; BUT it takes fuel to get that power.
Its simple.. a fairly economical truck IF I drive it accordingly. (about 75 to 90% of the time for most folks)
OR
Lots of tow power if I need it. (about 10 to 25% of the time)
The Ecodiesel will be similar except get less MPG loss towing; that's good..
Will get higher MPG all the time; that's good...
Will not tow as much as fast; that may be OK or bad depending on your needs.
To each their own but to keep hearing that the Ecoboost gets BAD MPG towing is getting old.... So what...:W
