I'm sure the engineers analyzed a benefit (CAFE / CO2) vs. cost and made a decision.
Another factor may have been that the TR6070 is about 1.65" longer than the TR6060 - it's possible it simply did not fit.
I'd be interested in Al and team's feedback on this one, but only after a couple other questions get answered that I consider higher priority.

The average speed answer is so slow that it could be 2020 when we get the answer.
