Sooo, I’m sure the point of that article was that they’re likely rated at about the same fuel mileage. And those little eco boosts are kick azz engines. Ford has a niche for sure with powerhouse small engines.
Like all the othe 1/2ton diesel posts, the collective truck world was asking for them for years and now that they’re here, a lot of people are not in love anymore.
Reason is, 10-15 years ago diesels were absolutely destroying gassers in the fuel mileage department, so small diesel, decent power and 2x the mileage was a dream.
But I’m seriously impressed with gas truck mileage on current vehicles.
I commute about 350mi/day a couple days a week. Over 1 mtn pass and I drive it like I stole it and my 2016 5.3 Silverado gets the same mileage as my 07 Cummins.
That wasn’t the case just a short few years ago.
