Like a lot of things, if you want the first to the finish, top of mtn.......but the seats do not fit you, buy that one. If you want the one the seats fits you, but is not that much slower, do these differences in times matter? Compared to the day one got a 250I6 with maybe 125HP, and 200 lbs of torque, a 3 in the tree emanual tranny.......I have to say, EITHER of those trucks performance specs look great! Some of the V6's are putting out what was BB power in the later 70's to early 80s. Along with trannies that have double and triple the gears, better mpgs, by double all around.....better more comfortable seats.......
Anything to not like about the new trucks?

I would not want a v6 full size truck. To me that is like putting a 4 cylinder in a corvette.
Some of todays 4 bangers are probably putting out more power than the original V8 in the vet back in the 50's frankly. Could probably get it moving faster too!
I would not have an issue with todays V6 in a full size truck, be it a 1500, or a 3500, IF I was to use that 3500 as strictly a gvwr only rig, and not towing what the chassis is capable of. This also is an issue with folks say on this forum. Yeah all of us tow. so a bigger badder motor is needed. Some like myself, choose rigs like a tool, what is its end use age. If a V6 will do the job, why buy a lower mpg motor? other than one likes the seat of the pants power one gets from a larger motor?!?!???
