As for the Ecoboost, it gets slightly better mileage than the 5.0, but kills it in low-mid rpm power (which is where a truck needs it). It also gets better mileage than a 5.3L Silverado, but makes more HP and far, far more low-mid range torque. GM's 6.2 makes more HP than the Ecoboost, and the same torque (though at a much higher rpm), but its MPG is much worse. |
strange. around here the ecoboosts are not good. the 5.0's are doing better on fuel. even the local dealer isn't recommending them.
and my 6.2 gm is better on fuel than my 5.3 was.
