How are the new Ford diesel engines?
Back in 2011 when I bought my Dodge, Ford had just come out with the 6.7L engine. I really liked the look of the F250, but due to the history of engine problems, I was afraid to go with the new engine...

And remember that Ford sells about 3 Powerstrokes for every 1 Duramax that GM moves. Even a basic understanding of math explains why you'll see more people complaing about their powerstroke vs. their Duramax. There's a bunch more powerstroke owners out there, which equals more problems.
Great! And that justifies Ford to deny warranty on CP4.2 pump failures??? Guess I miss the logic in that!
Don't forget to add Chevy and GMC numbers together.
Year to date:
Ford 559506
GM 496440

Well Ford Lover (Blind Love at that).
Looks like your math is way off. Comparing HD trucks (the only ones with diesel currently).
Your math isn't close.
The only thing keeping the F series lead currently is the F150. Ford is loosing sales percentage in the HD line.

"Interestingly, the overall take rates for their respective big-diesel engine choice (when calculating both three-quarter-ton and one-ton pickups together) is more than 85 percent for Ram HDs, about 68 percent for Ford Super Dutys, 55 percent for GMC and 45 percent for Chevy. As you may have surmised, the 2500 HD (both the Sierra HD at 50 percent and Silverado HD at 35 percent) trucks still sell a lot of gasoline 6.0-liter V-8s in the segment."
Yep, that's right, less than half of Chevy HD's sold have the duramax. GMC's 55% rate would be more impressive if they sold more trucks....only 19,600 Duramax GMC's sold in 2012. Think they'll qualify for collector car status at those low production numbers?
Does it surprise anyone that MOST chevy HD's on the road are the 6.0 Gas engine based on 2012's sales data?
Here's 2010's sales data.
