2023 Power Stroke vs 2023 Ram Cummins Towing Challenge

Ford: Better towing acceleration, better performance, better fuel economy, less squat Ram: Better exhaust brake, good ride quality. Looks like the 6 speed vs 10 speed discussion has been exposed...

^^^And if you're happy with 6 gears behind your 2015 Cummins you'd be ecstatic with 6 gears behind a new HO Cummins. Your 2015 is probably only making about 345 HP at 2200 rpm so someone could at least argue that a 2015 would benefit from more gears. The new HO engine will make more like 415 HP at 2200 rpm .... more gears certainly isn't going to make it pull a hill any faster. It might be nice to have another overdrive gear for running empty though.
