but factor in the $50+k price tag such as what ford has done with the eco-boost and it makes it almost unreachable...there is essentially no price difference when buying new between 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton trucks... the price makes them unreachable for someone who may actually need it. am i going to trade in a paid for 5.4l f150... no because the make up in fuel mileage vs paying out 35k + intrest would be pointless...
