That's just me guessing of course.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head. That is the point of the ecoboost 3.5 and IMO it makes perfect sense. A lot of people who buy trucks just use it for truck stuff occasionally ( which is where I will fall if/when I get a truck). It gives you the Bette fuel economy for dd duties and if you have to tow a hefty load you can do it. But yeah the ecoboost will be working hard towing and IMO if your doing a lot of towing of heavier loads you are better suited with a super duty.

The tremor was a cool idea but overpriced. It was essentially a loaded FX truck but still over priced
