There is a reason the eco boost is not in the Ford heavy duty trucks; actually lots of reasons. Maybe someday Ford will figure out how to make an Eco boost work in their heavy duty trucks - but it's pretty telling that they've been making eco boost engines for over a decade and still don't. And the direction they are going means it will be far more likely to see an electric engine than eco boost.
Not sure why you keep beating the drum about an engine that doesn't even belong on a Montana forum discussion.

I will agree. the turbo gassers will never make the same mileage as the diesels anyway and the overall cost will be a lot more in the long run in fuel and maintenance so this discussion is pretty much moot.
