I agree that if the Cummins was available in the Ford there is some who would choose it over the Powerstroke. I might....If I were to choose the Cummins it would be because I suspect it would increase the resale value of the truck. I would rather drive a Powerstroke equipped truck.....It's more powerful, quieter and I believe it has the best exhaust brake.

Why do you suspect the Cummins would increase the resale value of the truck?

A Cummins equipped Ford would be desired by both Ram and Ford people. The Powerstroke equipped Ford would have a smaller market.

Ford dropped the cummins in their medium duty trucks for a reason and their medium duty sales are on the rise with the 6.7 PSD.

Most people I talk to prefer the power of the Power Strokes and Duramax over the cummins. I wouldn't be surprised that the cummins update in '19 will be an engine exclusive to ram in order to compete with the big 2.


Anyways I'm looking forward to the Ike Gauntlet tow!

Hmmmm, I was at Disneyland last week and they have a huge fleet of F-550 and F-650 shuttle buses. NONE of them were the 6.7 PSD but rather the trusty V10. I have noticed that most of the newer Ford commercial trucks around here (including Uhaul F-650's) are also V-10's. The city I work at is the same.

It seems most fleets are not taking any more chances of huge repair bills and downtime with Ford diesels.

You remind me of fake news

How so? Are you insinuating that I'm lying?

I know our fleet manager very well and know exactly the reason we are going with V-10's now. And there must be a good reason Disneyland and Uhaul are doing the same......
