Im going to have to go against what most here and seemingly the market says but I would chose the NA over the EcoBoost. More power is always nice but its rarely used and I'd rather have a much simpler engine that gets basically the same mileage because when the repair bills comes in for a blown turbo, I would rather it be the other guys bill.

I have to agree with you. Most people I know who have the 3.5 EB rarely get great fuel economy. They do have decent torque on tap though. I believe a light duty diesel would make a much better alternative than these small twin turboed gassers.

That is why I like the idea of the 3.0L Diesel in the Ram.
240HP might seem kinda low today but I'd be more than happy with that since it has so much torque on tap.

Except it may not be reliable, Edmunds long term test Ram 3.0 ecodiesel just had an $11,000 repair on the fuel injection pump. Ouch. They have had many problems with it, still not sure about FCA quality. To be fair though, that Bosch pump appears to be problematic.

I'm not suggesting that the Ram EcoDiesel is the be-all-end-all. I'm definitely hoping that Ford and GM offer light duty diesels in their half-tons in the near future. I can't wait to see the Colorado/Canyon Duramax diesels.

Looks like the Colorado/Canyon mini dmax is another VM Motori design. Hopefully GM has tested the hell out of it. I'm increasingly disappointed with the rash of Ecodiesel issues. Hopefully Nissan did their homework with the Cummins.

All the HPCR systems are a major expense waiting to fail.
There are plenty of 6.6L Duramax owners with $5-6K repair bills for their injection systems.

The first time warranty cost of any new product is stupid high, it will come down by the time the warranty has expired. Still expensive but not THAT outrageous.

Seems they found pieces of metal so replaced injectors as well. Parts changer mechanics, gotta love em.

The repair cost might seem scary scary, while at the same time by a factor of many are not having any issues.  

Dodge has the 100k powertain warranty and an owner could elect for extended warranty after.  If this is a covered part, I wouldn't worry about it.  Might take some precaution to observe any irregularities that UOA might uncover pre a total failure.  The EB has had reports of issues with the HPFP, few but their there.  Seems trying to pressurize fuel to thousands of PSI is an imperfect science.  Sure beats a carburetor and choke however.

The EB is far from perfect as well, when considering mileage.  Some get good, some bad like me.  In full disclosure the way I have mine optioned is the absolute worst combination you get put together for MPG priorities, however it will tow and run like a scalded ape when partially or fully matted.

As the '15 EB's 2.7 and 3.5 get miles and reports of mileage will be interesting to see real world how this compares.

The GM 6.2 with 8L90 seems pretty stout on both ends both power and mileage.  Least what has been reported from tests so far.

Yep that usually drives the cost by multiple factors. On the other side some of these components and the specificity of which they are put together simply aren't made for the "new set of jets" methods of yesterday. Some owners feel more satisfied that an all new assembly opted, versus someone monkeying with 50 fasteners that are no way shape or form reassembled or torqued right or at all. Downside is cost. Either paying for the assembly or time in having the mechanic speed umpteen repair hours. Last time I was in my Chevy service center, the posted work rate was $95 per hour. :/ My Ford service center, seems to hide the figure. Though no repair work to date at 22k miles outside of a PCM code recall when new.

On a brand new engine launch like the 3.0L it was probably the company that wanted all injectors replaced so they could evaluate them. Many times on a new launch they replace everything and then as they figure out what is going on only the root cause is then fixed. GM used to not let the techs do any unauthorized work on new engines.
