What is the state of tune of the chevy? Any mods? Besides, if you want to know which will run faster, you take it to the drag strip and run from a light and both trucks give it their all... Running on the street tells little. As you can see, none of these runs was identical in start tactics or speed run... FAIL

Nice use of a single data point without offering context or any other reference point to show the difference between repair rates of Ecoboost trucks versus 6.2 Silverados... FAIL.

Hey Lendon...did you forget to take your meds again? You again try to be too clever by half by attempting to shift the debate to most fuel efficient truck, then further to most fuel efficient engine. In doing so, you have effectively compared an apple with a mango.

Let me help you (again) with your claims and your facts. You know, it's about time you did your own research for a change...I'm getting tired of clearing up your mistakes for free. As Mark Twain once said, "Never let facts get in the way of a good story"... See picture below from the Official EPA website....



Based on similar power output ratings (Chevy still down), I compared the Chevy offering SFE to the Ecoboost and then the normal 5.3 2WD. The Dodge was even lower with similar power. Ecoboost wins. Gosh, aren't facts tough to deal with.

Also, I agree that the Ford is the longest lasting, most durable/dependable truck on the market by working vehicles with over 200,000 miles on them. The statistic you like to rely on is registrations which is inconclusive (it tells nothing of miles or use; hence, durability).

Again, like your truck. Buy what you like. Just try...try a little bit...to deal with fact once in a while...
