and i'd bet the 2.7 is quick to 60 because of some insane gearing it has or something...

like i said... trucks have too many options & configurations to just be like hey here is a drag race.

i don't think i'd wind up in an ecoboost personally.

if I'm paying ecoboost money I'm getting a ram ecodiesel if I have to buy a brand new truck.

Granted, i would never buy a brand new truck so that's why this entire thing is moot. :rofl:

Yea, I bought my 240hp Eco-Diesel to drag race LOL. NOT. I'd like to see any of those trucks get 26mpg overall with 80% highway driving and 20% sit-and-go traffic on an 800 mile road trip.

exactly.

0-60 times, albeit cool for trucks... would probably be one of the last deciding factors on what truck i purchased.

It's not an ideal test but all of the trucks were racing under the same conditions so it's not like it was slanted in anyone's favor. I think the underlying point is that the Ecoboosts aren't sacrificing speed for fuel economy.

And it's not like you're racing 0-100 in your pickup truck anyhow.

The 2.7 EcoBoost is enticing...it's only an $800 option over the NA 3.5 V6 too. The 3.5 EB is a $2300 option and the 5.0 is a $1600 option.
[MENTION=19]Kay Jay[/MENTION] I'm going through the build and price, and it doesn't say what the rear axle ratio is for the 2.7. It doesn't seem to come with any heavy-duty payload or towing packages that change the ratio higher. I kind of assumed it is coming with a 3.31 open diff, but I could be wrong.
