I don't know why people care 10 pages worth (to date) about a Cummins being 2 seconds faster than a Powerstroke up an 8 mile climb pulling more than most of us will ever pull. I'm sure the Duramax would be right there with them if it was rated a little higher too. From a towing performance standpoint you really can't fault any of the diesels and that's been the case for quite a few years.
A couple seconds make ZERO difference. What is very interesting is RAM PULLED THE SAME with much less advertised HP.
But with essentially the same torque. The drag race where the Power Stroke was able to achieve higher rpms is where you seen the higher HP.
Bottom line the higher HP Power Stroke is a much better daily driver and towing up a major incline the performance is essentially the same.

I think we agreed you have better mirrors.:B
The Ford has better mirrors, panoramic sun roof, nicer ride, tail gate step, better cameras, massage seats, adaptive cruise control and better acceleration. Ram gets better fuel economy, lower purchase price..... and most important the Ram has a big C on its side.
Yes, I’m still completely satisfied with my choice over 4 years later. The funky gadgets are nice, but they don’t get you home.......
Me too after 6 years and 144k miles... it's a jewel. Although I do like some of the features on the Lariat.
