In the F150, you can get the 3.5EB or the 5.0 in most trims. Maybe Chevy thinks customers will just look at the HP ratings and not the torque ratings of the 5.3 vs the 3.5EB.
I think GM is banking on people buying the top trims to get the engine, and that any sales lost are negated by the profits from people 'up buying'. I'm not convinced this is the best strategy, but it could work.
