I think Cummins does move slower and like I’ve indicated in past posts, the 6.7L is used in many different applications. I don’t think Cummins will be making any major changes to the 6.7L soon. My dealer can still buy my 2018 CTD for the 2020 trucks. Last I talked with him, he indicated that this will be indefinite and I think that’s a good move for Cummins because like in the utility business, you may only operate those generators 100 hours per year and probably less, so extreme reliability is paramount.
So why drop an engine that regularly goes over 500,000 miles and will still be running in many commercial/ industrial/ utility applications likely over 30 years from now.
So Cummins moves slow so that they don’t have a mistake like Ford did w the 6L. I wish Dodge would have said the same with their transmissions 15 years ago.
But like I said if I had a Ford or GM sitting in the driveway, I’d be proud of the truck. I have a Ram and I’m proud of it too right up to the time I sell it and I’ll then be proud of the next one. Haha
But generally, I would pick Cummins because of the fact that the Cummins focus is exactly on long term reliability. Not saying you can’t have an issue.
Peace
