F 250 vs Ram 2500
The wifey and I are discussing a new truck in the next 2 years. Right now we have a 2013 Ford F 150 SCAB long box. When we have children, she wants a crew. I cannot give up the 8 foot box. AFAIK no on...

I went with the nv4500 behind my 96 6.5td. did and had way better performance etc than those with the 4l80e. Wish the 6sp would have been out. That drop from direct to 3rd at 1.6- 1 vs the 6sp at 1.3, was not holding at 50, redline at 50 with the 5 sp. Or 35-38 mph at 2500 rpm. I would have been about 40-45 with the nv5600 at 2500. A much nicer drive.
Also why I have a spicer 7sp in my navistar.
