At this point, the ecoboost has basically proven itself. Most of their problems were early on, not with the engine, but the transmission pump, based on what I could find on google. Secondly, your comparsion link is written by Dodge. Some of the information(on the diesel engine) is based on the fact that they didn"t test the latest engine, and a win is basically assumed. They mention the 5.0L at the beginning of the comparsions but then only compare the 3.5 and 5.7. 5.0 must not have done that bad. Look at the torque curves for the Eco-Boost. It not only has more torque, but peaks sooner at 2,500rpm. the Hemi peaks at around 3,900rpm. Which one is more useful for towing? I have no doubt that the Hemi tows well, but I also have no doubt that the Eco-Boost tows well. I"m not a fan of dodge trucks, nor am I a fan of comparsion reports written by Dodge that obviously favour Dodge. Add to that, the only thing Dodge ever had going for it was the Cummins engine. In a 1/2 ton that isn"t available. On top of that, the already low quality Ram is now being engineered by Fiat. Nobody knew they could get worse, but somehow they managed.
