I got around to reading the trailer life article in its entirety. According to the author the ED will be the best thing since sliced bread for moderately sized trailers. There will be nothing comparable for the low rpm grunt of that thing and the mileage at the moment, there is nothing to directly compare it to. That's why a lot if us are looking at the cost and thinking it's just too high. The article was very complimentary, I wish it wasn't written by a hardcore diesel fan, and a guy who seems to love his dodges...
I'm waiting for a close comparison to the eco 2.7tt. Instead of racing up a hill and proclaiming a speed winner and a mileage loser, how about an equally loaded ED, followed by the f150, so we see what mileage they get going the same speed..... We all know which is faster, and we know which gets better mileage, so the big picture, apples to apples, and price comparison for 100K miles.
Throw in a GM and a pentastar, and then we can all bring our biases and cherry pick that to death!
