I dont know about you but i hate my truck downshifting on hills just to maintain speed.

Then a chassis dyno means nothing either.

From my experience ( several thousand miles in a 5.0 and a few test drives in a ecoboost )

The 5.0 down shifts all the time which makes me hate the 6 speed transmission.

The ecoboost can handle the passing lane without downshifting.

And that is the main reason I was leaning towards ecoboost.
