I agree 300 hp is plenty for any 1/2 ton pick-up but the difference between the Ecoboost and Ford's 5.0 (or the Chevy engines) is the torque. The Ecoboost brings about 420 ft/lbs of torque to the party at 2500 rpms and compared to the 5.0's 380 ft/lbs at 4000 rpms (+/-). Its would be the way to go if the truck is used for towing, otherwise I would stay with the V-8.
