These people that actually need a truck to be a truck are going to be real disappointed with little engines with a turbo. These engines will be under boost most of the time and you will not get the mileage you think you will. Little engines overworking are not happy. Sure the Soccer Moms or guys that think they look good in a truck will think they are swell, but don't try pulling any meaningful load, trailer, camper etc. The main goal with trucks is to sell as many as possible with claims of glory. Bottom line is, they are designed to last the warranty period, then self destruct. They would love for the complete truck to fall apart, so they can sell you another. I know a guy that traded in his 2014 Silverado for a F150 3.6 Ecoboost, he now gets 7.5 MPG pulling his camper, while he got 12 with the Chevy, plus has to add a quart of oil every 1000 miles. I guess GM wants to be equal with Ford now? The late model F150 with the 5.0 is a good engine, power and mpg. The Ecoboost Fords with mileage over 100k are going to be money pits, like the 5.4L was with spark plugs, timing chains, cam phasers and thrust bearings. I hate for GM to follow that route. The GM 3.6L V6 has all kinds of timing chain issues. Most all brands of engines that are going with Direct Injection are having intake valve carbon issues.
