There has to be a lot of torque management on the Cummins. On any 0-60 tests I've seen the Cummins is slightly slower to 60 than the Hemi, yet it's much more powerful.

We'll fix that soon :B

Was wondering, is that black out edition lifted? Sure does look tall. Could be the photo angle.

Bone stock. Stands 4" taller than my F250.

Yes, my 13 has A LOT of toque management. I still love driving my '05 more. We are going to do the first real pull test this weekend. Take the rig on it's first trip. I'm curious how it's going to compare with ole Blacky. (my '05).

You mentioned the Ford feeling like it has more power from the line..sure seems that way. Had a friend with a 2012 F250 King Ranch...it ran like a scalded dog...no mods.
I have a 2012 Ram 2500 (6.7L diesel)...off the line, it has to build speed. Tranny on it is just a bit weird. There are those out there with a O/D software package that helps with the tranny a bit.
Nice looking truck....you will enjoy it.
For those that are trouble free...hope it stays that way! I had a 2010 for a week that ended up with motor issues. Bought the 2012 and so far it has seen the shop for new O2 sensors and wiring harnesses at 38K and change.

Put 950lbs in the 6.4 hemi's bed and see if it can still beat the Cummins from 0-60. That's apr the difference in curb weight.

Im kinda partial to Ford's but that there is a good lookin' truck. Congrats and enjoy!

You know, I doubted your data, so I had to looked it up. :) You're right -- the 6.7L Cummins powered truck is roughly 900 - 950# heavier (truck for truck) than the 6.4L Hemi truck. WOW, that's a big difference, and you're right, that likely accounts for much of the difference in 0-60.

Isn't the Cummins 370HP and the Hemi 410HP? :h

Yes, but the Cummins has 800tq, and the Hemi has 429tq.
