The 3.6L Pentastar V6 is a great engine. 305 HP, real towing capacity, great mileage. I have it in my new Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 and can still get 24 mpg on the highway with a four wheel drive and a quad cab. The V6 I have in my older Dodge Ram 1500 van is 75 less HP with much less gas mileage. Transit connect is 169HP or 178 using premium fuel. For a work truck, I would go with fairly good gas mileage that can still be written off a 56 cents a mile with a powerful engine over a few more mpg and an engine that may not get me up the hill too many times with a full load.

But, I do think it does depend on the terrain and what you plan to carry. In Florida, your engine might never have to downshift to make it up a hill, so a Transit might make the most sense.
