Duramax is king of the mountain again

My parents finally traded their '05 Duramax for a new '16 Duramax yesterday. They wanted a two wheel drive truck and after my dad saw the pictures of the hood scoop he didn't like so they went truck shopping at the local dealer. They test drove a Ram Cummins and the Chevy Duramax and decided on the Chevrolet because of more responsive power, transmission shift quality and just a better ride.

Funny how people's priorities are different.

765ft/lbs of torque in the '16 was sufficient for them, I suppose? Given they're essentially the same truck, I'd have waited a bit, and taken the additional power of the '17, and learned to accept the hood scoop. But everyone sees things differently, I guess.

Did they look at the '17 F350?

Best of luck to them. They should be very happy with the Chevy!
