I mean that’s what I look for in a vehicle. 30% higher rpms (you mean 100% higher by the way), 30% worse mileage and half the torque or less.......where do I sign? I’ll take 2!

No, I meant 30%. Sorry if that hurts. Lol!

My 5.4L F250 is the first truck I've owned in a very long time that I'm not anxious to trade for something better. If it were as bad as you wish or imagine it were, it would have been traded long ago. :B

So you are saying that if a 6.7 Powerstroke had to run at 2500 RPM to keep a load at speed you could do it at 3250? HAHAHA!!! That's funny right there. You need to get out more. I have driven plenty of 5.4's in my time and although a great long lasting engine low end power it does not have. You might be comparing to a 6.0 Powerstroke , that I would believe but not todays oil burners. You would be lucky to only turn 30% more than the 3.5 Ecoboost.

Yeah, I would have to raise the BS flag on that too. I drove plenty of 5.4L SD's in the past as well and all of them would down shift to 2nd or 3rd at the sight of a hill when towing. They would get the load up the small hills, but it would be screamin' at 5,000 rpm doing 45 mph to get it there. I could just hum along at 1,700 rpm in 6th in my 6.7L CTD pulling the same weight up the same hill.
