I'm not saying it definitely won't work. But before they get $40k+ of my money (if it ever even happens), I'll want to see how it holds up to towing a real load.
Trust me, I'd love a truck that can get 20mpg in daily driving and still be able to hook up a big trailer.
Ford is putting a lot of stock into the Ecoboost. I really dont think they are going to shot themselves in the foot since they are finally turning around. But the Ecoboost is reportedly supposed to cost more as an option over the 5.0 motor
