I’m beyond caring anymore which brand of new pickup has the highest numbers.
If I could buy a brand new 1997 F350 7.3 or a brand new 1998 12-valve Dodge Cummins, I’d take it.
It gets your stuff where you want it to go and it keeps doing it reliably for a long time.

The way I look at it is, it’s like there’s only so much power and engine can make in its life.
You can either do it all at once or slowly.

I agree except I would buy a Super Duty with the 7.3L because they were much more comfortable trucks than the OBS but still super reliable, especially with the ZF6 manual transmission.

The leaf spring setup on the front end of that Super Duty is not very comfortable compared to the twin coil spring setup on the OBS trucks. I will say the Super Duty cabs overall are better. And I'll take an auto in any truck configuration all day long.
