I would have never considered a Dodge truck but this has me interested and I will for sure test drive one. I have always considered Dodge to be the ugly step child of GM and Ford- no longer.
I am going to wait till the new 8 speed GM HD trucks come out and then I will get busy deciding what to buy. (My 2012 only has 92k on it so I can wait another year or so...)
Looking forward to seeing a real test between all three. At 900#'s of torque the Dodge should just crush the competition! Good on Dodge to push the envelope!!!
I've read from a reliable source that the next 2017 Power Stroke will be touting over 1000 ft/lbs. In addition I believe the current Power Stroke/tranny will only require a flash update to achieve this increase.
Im still wondering does the cummins upgrade break the 400hp barrier?
Also I'm pretty sure the DMax will be getting a bump in power too, but they have been pretty tight lipped about it.
If the new Cummins broke the 400 hp mark, you'd think they'd brag about it, so I'm going to say no.
No doubt the PS and the DMAX will catch up again.
