As a former F450 owner, I still say they're focusing on the wrong stuff. Let's face it, most people who are shopping for a $70,000+ truck are not the kind who are planning to take their truck to do drag races and stuff. They're looking for a company work truck or something to pull their big giant 5th wheel.

Enough power already, even Chevrolet. Focus on dependability, longevity, and fuel mileage. I don't care how fast it pulls 30,000 lbs. How much diesel will I use from here to Disneyworld is far more important than how quick I can leave a stoplight.

X2 the best post in this thread right here!

I agree. I`de like to see them focus on 3-4 mpg better towing, not have any fuel system issues and go for 100`s of thousands of miles
without anything more than oil changes and fuel filter changes!

How much weight could one possibly tow on a regular basis? If I need that kind of towing capacity, then I need to look at what I`m doing because I screwed up somewhere! yes, even commercial guys don`t need that capacity very often. and if and when they do I don`t think they care about cresting a hill/mountain at 80mph!!!!
