In addition, the lighter engine makes steering/handling/ride better.
Hate all you like. Ford took the risk, did the engineering, made the investment, did the testing and has produced a 3.5 liter engine (217 Cubic inch) that outperforms the 6.2 liter (~384 Cubic inch) GM product.
Ecoboost - 420 lb/ft @ 2,500 RPM, 90% TQ from 1700-5000 RPM, 365 HP @ 5,500 RPM
6.2 - 417 lb/ft @ 4,300 RPM, 403 HP @ 5,700 RPM

the gm 6.2 (which does not have two turbos strapped to it to make up for it's shortcomings) also makes around 300 ft\lbs of torque right from idle. and it makes more hp than the ecgayboost.
