From what I heard, the Ford engineered 6.7 is working out to be a good engine.
Not at all surprised at the results, how many V8 Diesels are in OTR trucks? Not many, usually straight 6 and 8 since they will produce more torque just by the fact they have more journals, one for each piston, where V8's have shared journals, and the V design takes away from the stroke where that torque comes from.
V8's, great for racing, but if you want a powerhouse for pulling a house down, you can't beat a straight 6. It's just too bad the Cummins in in a dodge. What the heck were they thinking putting a 5 foot bed on a dually?
Interesting that the V8 Duramax makes more torque at a lower RPM than the Cummings straight 6.
Also makes much more horsepower.- From what I heard, the Ford engineered 6.7 is working out to be a good engine.

Fact that the Ford's have fallen behind in 2017 will not stop their brand loyal crowd, as they have a very high tolerance to pain. Which was engrained by the 6.0 and .6.4.- ^^ :B

The new 2018 Ram numbers are out LINK "If you have your eye on a 2017 Ram 3500HD equipped with the optional turbocharged 6.7-liter inline-six diesel engine with an intent to tow, then we’d recommend you wait to sign the paperwork. Next year’s truck equipped with the Cummins-sourced diesel engine will be available with a massive 930 lb-ft of torque—a gain of 30 lb-ft over the torquiest 2017 Ram 3500HD."
Maybe your story to wait will hurt the ram sales now. Might be a great time to buy now. Enough power for most guys maybe.
