I dunno - the gap between a half ton and a diesel HD truck is huge. I think there's plenty of room for a tweener like the XD to work out. Even if it isn't any faster than an Ecoboost, it still has a stouter chassis and driveline and should handle an 8-11k load better. Not like a big diesel of course, but again this thing is targeting that in-between niche.

Trouble is, it's not really a "tweener". In terms of payload or tow capacity, it's more like a regular F150 or Chevy half-ton, just heavier and with a diesel engine.
They spend a lot of time talking about how smooth the ride is, how much better it is than the big trucks. That also makes it sound like a regular half-ton, where you have to stiffen the suspension to properly handle max loads.
Maybe they'll come up with a HD Payload option like the F150. Stiffer suspension, heftier axles and wheels. Now that would be interesting and make it a real "tweener".
