I had a 03 Dodge great truck sucked on fuel but 375k miles no major problems.I now own a F-150 5.0 ten speed so now if I have a Ram grill on my bumper all I do is hit the gas and no more Ram.That Coyote engine is the quickest truck I've ever owned.She gets 18-22 MPG.
Those Coyote engines are fun and very reliable. Sound great too. No turbo lag since it is a naturally aspirated engine. With four valves per cylinder it has no problem breathing. Throttle response is there.
I am not sold on the new ten speed. I like the six speed better.
