Actually, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 has more power and more torque than either the 3.2L outgoing diesel, or the new 2.0L diesel.
Much more importantly, the EcoBoost makes maximum torque at a higher RPM, which means it can be in a lower gear (there’re 10 speeds) so that even more torque reaches the drive wheels. It’s not even close.
For what it’s worth, I’m not promoting the EcoBoost. I don’t need or would want an EcoBoost V6 over the standard naturally aspirated gasoline V6. The standard V6 has more than enough power for my needs, and torque isn’t that meaningful to me as long as the transmission has enough gears to allow the engine to operate at the needed RPM.
Some drivers like low RPM torque, but I prefer useable power.
