Such a Richard.
Nice choice. Very much looking forward to how the 3.0 diesel treats you. There is a lot of diesel hate out there nowadays.
Why do people buy trucks? It’s not to be fast. Shows that some don’t use your truck as a truck. They want a fast grocery getter that can power their house.

I think everyone needs a diesel. Once. To get it out of their system. But then again some love them. I am one who when shopping for a vehicle specifically search for something different than what I have owned previously. This is how an F-150 sits next to a Tesla in my driveway.
Speed/acceleration is relative. 0-60 in 5 seconds has little to contribute to useful transportation. Traffic usually takes 20-30 seconds to reach 60. If one is buying a truck to do things other than impress little boys at how long of a rubber stripe it can lay, then the Powerstroke is a worthy contender. I am extremely pleased with my 2.7EB.

It seems that many are ignorant to the concept that it's nice to be able to tow and keep up with traffic. It's even nicer to have a truck with enough power to actually pass when needed while towing. To do that, you need a truck that isn't slow to start with.
Worth noting that your 2.7EB is significantly faster than the 3.0PS. I suspect that the 2.7's towing capacity is intentionally underrated. It's a beast of a motor.
