No reason to not believe what you say about stronger internals. You dont strike me as a liar or exaggerator. I would dispute the strength issue as an engine is an assembly and only as strong as its weakest link. That’s why a Cummins 6.7 is a medium duty engine with a far longer B rating than an ecoboost gas engine. So we are good there.
But to compare both engines, even if they were in the same truck, its lights out. The Cummins would do more work and last longer doing it.
The original premise was, can the ecoboost haul 10k day in and day out. I said yes, the engine has the strength in the block and internals to do it. I see landscape guys doing it all summer. I also noted the fact the ecoboost comes in F150 package which I don't think the light duty suspension can handle that load day in and day out.
Of course the purposes of the engines are different and can do different things. I agree. However that was never the original premise.
