Come on guys the problem with the Fords is that there really isn't a powerful uncomplicated engine available.
Not saying the EcoD or Hemi are much better. But they are less complicated than the two turbo Fords. At least by a turbo and a few spark plugs.
I have had my Ford for 34 years and love it. . And it's 53 grand less than any of the trucks in the MT article. But it's a bit long on the tooth body and interior wise.
So I am looking.
I have always wondered about the durability of the Turbo's and high pressure injectors. But I have no doubt the Cummins and Duramax block is durable. Can't say that about the 2.7.
I might be dragging a 90's f550 up to Montana and have a Cummins Alison put in it. :>)
