Anyone planning on buying a 2017 F-350?
I had planned on ordering a new 2016 F-350 to haul our old Lance or a new 1062, but I waited around too long. I've never been fond of buying a brand new model vehicle.

It's the same way with my CTD in the chassis cab. If it results in a more reliable engine for a longer period, I'm fine with that instead playing the numbers game. My previous PSD had 325 hp and 570 lb-ft while my current CTD has 325 hp and 750 lb-ft. Both have no problem keeping the speed limit while loaded on a grade, so I do not feel like I am missing anything. I upgraded from my last truck because I needed more payload and not because it was lacking power. My CTD does have torque management which results in "dead pedal" feel verses my old PSD, but I believe the new PSD also has management which limits the initial acceleration.
My truck is not used empty, so the chassis cab tune is probably a better match for my usage verses someone that frequently uses theirs for commuting or grocery getting and has a less severe duty cycle. You need to decide if your usage would benefit from a more conservative tune.
