2023 Super Duty 6.7PSD HO Review

[FishOnOne]

Here's a review from a Ram/Cummins fan on the 2023 Super Duty 6.7PSD HO. Don't agree with some of his analysis including it doesn't require cab off to replace the turbo. The 6.7 HO does have a couple of extra cooling lines for the turbo.

Roflmao. While the convenience, I suppose, is noted, although I’m not certain how much since the advent of backup cameras basically lets you get it right the first time anyway.
The funny part is I scrolled to watching it back up twice and both times on a dead flat looking parking lot it still backed the truck too far back both times. And how does it account for the roll-back or slop in the drivetrain. If the guy was backing downhill to the trailer it would have been off more than it already was, or Fords now have zero slop when shifting into park or it automatically hits the e brake too.
If this sells trucks, it’s only to the Bud Light drinkin cowboys because this is g_y!

I noticed the same thing.

Here's some Pro Ford trucks features and some commercial trucks. That F600 is sweet.

Fuel economy run for a F350 DRW truck on a 685 mile run. Impressive 17.6mpg

For comparison an ~800 mile run on a different route for a Ram DRW 3500 was ~15 mpg.

With 1200 lb feet of torque and a 4.92 first gear ratio, 4.30 axle gears are too low. I can see offering 4.30 gears for the odd person who only tows with his truck. For me to go to an F450 will be like giving up 9th and 10th gear. In spite of that I have an F450 on order.

The Super Duty is definitely the towing king at this point and those gears are part of the equation. I don't have a need for a dually but if there was I would most definitely go with a F450 with that wide track front end and the thing just looks freakin cool.

^Yup.
GM was the only light duty domestic diesel truck to use an in-stream injector afaik. Not sure if they still doo on the L5Ps or not.

The Duramax still uses a 9th injector for the regen. It was smart of Ford to do the same thing. No more washing cylinders during regen.

OH now I see why you have thought about a new truck as yours may well be "Washed Out". :B

I would be curious to see the cylinder walls in the my truck to see what the cross hatch looks like. Also curious how the CGI block material is holding up as well in terms of the cross hatch.

Pop an injector and give it a look.
