In the same vehicle I'd bet money the mpg difference isn't going to be as much as some may think. Completely different engines for completely different applications. You sure will not see a 3.5l EB put into a F-450-F-750 or F53 chassis in the near future.

That's a very good point sir. Now if Ford ever gets off their asses and builds and ecoboost V-8, the V-10 will be a distant memory.

If the customer is willing to pay the fairly large price difference. Price often matters more on fleet vehicle sales than individual sales. The EB would be even closer to the price of the turbo diesel option with a lot of the same parts related liability.

Not even close in price. The 3.5L EB was $1750 above the base 3.7L and $750 above the 5.0. The 6.7L is a mere $8K above the base 6.2L in the SD. I could an ecoboost V-8 running $2500 max.

Its closer in price to the diesel than the V10. When your buying a fleet of trucks $2500 per truck can make a LOT of difference.
