There were comments about the costs to engineer a bigger engine to fit for one model or that the 2L was good enough but I don't recall anyone bringing economy in to the discussion, especially in the context of why a bigger engine wasn't offered.

I agree, a big petrol engined double cab would have a very small market here, but surely there's a diesel in the ford world that is better?

No one buys petrol motors in dual cabs, mostly due to ridiculous fuel costs. A v6 petrol in a 2 tonne + truck would chew the fuel.

These two quotes were on the first page the 2L was mentioned. There were another 1600 comments after those posts in that thread alone.
Not to mention other threads on this websites, comments sections under car reviews on their websites, YouTube comments sections, Facebook comments sections.
I remember seeing many comments about the original Raptor. There were many people arguing that fuel economy is more important than acceleration in a Raptor.
