I got to drive one today dragging 6800 lbs and it felt awesome. 80+ miles per hour, passing tundras, rams, and silverados UPHILL like I owned the road. A must buy. Being a turbo fan I had and idea of what to expect, but my expectations were blown away by the Eco's flat torque curve. If I needed to buy a truck to pull, I'd be all over this, kicking some V8 butt.

That was a pretty impressive video. Props to Ford, I knew they tested the engines but I didn't know exact what they did. It's pretty neat to see exactly how they test these engines.

Nice, but will be very hard and expensive to service later on down the road

I always look at things from a fix it myself perspective because I am cheap

This is the engine that is going to be used in the Police package Taurus next year as well. Quite fast.

Personally, I would go with the 6.2L in the truck.
