The low RPM massive torque while pulling with the Cummins is one of the things I noticed right away when I bought my truck over having 2 Ford PSD's. I need to hit a considerable hill while towing before having to downshift my truck out of 6th gear, and it is only on really tough pulls that I need to go down another gear from 5th.
The other thing I've noticed is that the Cummins never sounds like it's working hard, even when pulling heavy. I'm quite sold on the inline 6! :B
I noticed the same with my 6.7 PSD over my 6.0 PSD or even the lethargic 7.3. The 6.7 never feels like its stressed and pulling is a joy. I've been sold for +200k miles on the 6.7PSD.
Bottom line todays diesels are a huge improvement compared to the diesels not too long ago with the exception of emissions equipment. The guys who are running the 2020 6.7 PSD say it's a huge improvement over the early 6.7.
