Bcs. price of gas and diesel.
Pay $9-11 for gallon, and you would have different story.
You missed the point completely. It's Ecoboost gasser vs NA 7.3 gasser. Both gas engines. The 3.5 ecoboost puts out enough hp/torque to "compete" with the 7.3 big block gasser, and it was on the shelf ready to go.
But Ford didn't put it in their super duty, they did a complete ground up new big block gas engine, cost millions, and the reason is because the small turbo gassers cannot withstand the duty cycle of a big block NA v8 gasser.
