As a reader of this forum, you are undoubtedly aware of the existence of the Ford F-150 EcoBoost. It is the chief rival of the Ram 1500 Ecodiesel.

With the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, the Ford F-150 will cost you $35,500. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel will come up to $37,915. That means that the Ram 1500 costs $2,615 more than the Ford F-150 EcoBoost.

The Ford F-150 has a lot more horse power than the Ram 1500; 365 hp and 240 hp respectively. But in terms of torque, the two trucks both record 420 lb-ft.

The last measure is fuel economy. The Ford F-150 comes in at 23 MPG, while the Ram 1500 comes in at 28 MPG.

So the two trucks are quite well matched. I have a feeling it will take a lot to take the Ford F-150 off its pedestal though. That is one popular truck.

It'll be interesting to see how the diesel ram compares to the ecoboost.

It will, the ecoboost setups are really good. I was impressed with the V6TT setup in the police interceptors. It could be even game for both.

the ecoboost are a nice choice. I still prefer diesel though.

Same, especially when you mix that with a dually rear = epic.

we would have to compare at equiv mileage and cost per mile
