Plus Ram is way overdue to update their HD trucks to the new body style.
Aboot as overdue as they are to boot the 6speed slush boxes out the door.
And assuming they are still going with ZF if/when they change, it ain’t going to be soon.
Buddy who is a mid level manager at ZF, different division, says there’s not only no agreement or plans to ramp up the Powerline trans for Rams, everything around it is kinda dead, no new news. He!!, when Ram first started testing ZF Powerline transmissions, it was all hush hush because Ram was gonna be poised to be the first of the big 3 HD trucks with more than 6 gears.
Now they’re still selling 2007 model transmissions behind their diesels as fast as they can crank them out.
I wouldn’t change either if I was them. Not until they quit being able to sell all the trucks they make every year even though 2/3 of them have the tired old 68rfe and the rest have a slightly newer albeit very durable 6 speed…- Plus Ram is way overdue to update their HD trucks to the new body style.
- ^^^ It’s not posted as fact anywhere as far as I know….. it’s just me thinking it’s pretty tough to compete in a 500 HP/10 speed market with 420 ponies and 6 gears.

I priced out a new Ram dually Limited. I was considering trying a Ram out while I wait for my ‘23 Ford to come in. What ultimately lead to me sticking with what I have is fear that the 2023 Ram is apt to take a big hit in depreciation when the ‘24 comes out with 8 gears and 480 horsepower / 1200 lbft of torque.
"24 comes out with 8 gears and 480 horsepower / 1200 lbft of torque"
OK, where is this posted as fact?- I priced out a new Ram dually Limited. I was considering trying a Ram out while I wait for my ‘23 Ford to come in. What ultimately lead to me sticking with what I have is fear that the 2023 Ram is apt to take a big hit in depreciation when the ‘24 comes out with 8 gears and 480 horsepower / 1200 lbft of torque.

They are both incredible. Which one did you order Fish?

My daughter ordered a new Bronco coming up two years ago and we still haven't got a production date. Maybe if you order a new Super Duty today you'll have your 350k miles on the '12 by the time the new one shows up.:)
You may have your daughter check with the salesperson because there are certain options that will prevent the vehicle from being built.rhagfo wrote:

Well once at the end of the current model year production run, was the order canceled, or was the model year of the order updated??
Her order was rolled into the 2023 model year and the price was protected. I had a 2022 Super Duty on order to replace the 2022 that i'm currently driving ... Ford cancelled that order, so we ordered a 2023 ... not price protected.4x4ord wrote:
