From boyhood on, I lived in a "Ford family"; it is what I subsequently bought and operate my machine shop with. This year, Ireplaced one of the 1/2 ton trucks and compared the Ford ecoboost to the Ram EcoDiesel----for reasons driven by fuel economy, I bought the Ram. 430ft lbs below 2000 rpm and it moves my 6k lb trailer with boring confidence, and gets 28-30mpg when not trailering (21 mpg hauling a 6k lb trailer in North GA hills). Ford will need to make similar offeri gs to be competetive; I personally found the Ram to look better than the boxy and angular Ford or GM.
