Go to the 24 hours of Sebring or Daytona sometime and school those Audi team guys on the undesirability of their low-revving race car. You can catch up with them at the winner's party at some hotel when they're drunk.

Did you not read my post? Seriously, it's all there. With math and physics and stuff
A limited power band is not a positive. If they made enormously more power, maybe they could get away with it. And/or they had enough gears to exploit it.
If the 7.3L PSD was the cat's meow, why was it end-of-life in 2003, replaced with a 32 valve motor that made more horsepower and revved higher?
I'll be sure to let Ford's engineers know that Denis believes that horsepower and rpm aren't at all important in a light duty truck
