It's actually already been done. One of the tests when the Ecoboost came out was towing its max capacity(at the time) of 11,300 lbs at full throttle for 24 hours straight at Daytona motor speedway totaling 1,607 miles with an average speed of 82 mph. It only stopped for fuel and tires. Needless to say it didn't go boom. In fact that very same engine even went on to tow up Davis Dam a few times and run in the Baja 1000 before doing a a final dyno and tear down showing no signs of power loss or damage. There are videos showing this and the live tear down.
Another one of their tests was to leave the engine at wide open throttle for 15 days straight. It didn't go boom there either.
But you have to pay $10000 more for the Ford! With no real gain over the Ram.
