Of course they were. Can you imagine the flack Ford would get if it made a truck that didn't excel at truck work? Isn't that why the vehicle exists? IMHO efficiency is all about matching the machine to the task. So, solitary commuting without big loads in a diesel truck (7,000 pounds of equipment to move 200 lb payload?!?) strikes me as inefficient, even if the mpg is "good".
