The article that I posted about the Ecodiesel only being sold in 12 percent of Rams(instead of the 20 that was expected and produced) was from June of 2015 which was before VW admitted to cheating. This should have been an optimal time given the claims that so many people have been waiting for a diesel in a half ton and it was before "dieselgate".
I think a lot of people like the idea of these small diesels and their cost savings, but when they go on a test drive to see how much power they have to give up and how minimal the cost savings actually are, then they start to rethink it. In many cases, most half ton Ram truck buyers that don't tow that much would be happier with the better performance of the 3.6L. I have no doubts that this would be the same for this Ford 3.0L diesel and the 2.7L Ecoboost.
So many things wrong/cherry picked with this post. People do your own research please.
Okay, so what was cherry picked? The article was written before VW admitted to cheating and I believe should have been the optimal time for Ecodiesel sales due to an anticipated market since it was within the first few years of production.
The rest of it is my opinion which is why I started the paragraph saying "I think". So are you just mad at my opinion and do not think I am allowed to have one? If you disagree with my opinion then feel free to tell me what parts you disagree with and why.

FYI..... It took 4 years of production for the mighty EB to catch the 5.0 in sales and your commenting on an engine that at that point had been out for maybe a year. Stretch.
I am not sure if this is a totally true. The Ecoboost came out in the F150 in 2011, and it matched and exceeded the 5.0L sales within the first year.
Ford F-150 buyers go for EcoBoost V6 engines
