YUP ! ! !  I would believe that you would feel that way with any 1 of the big 3... from 2003 to 2016 there was a lot of innovations on all these beasts...

Enjoy the New To You tow beast ! !

Just keep water outta the fuel and pray no emissions issues crop up. That was headaches you didn’t have to consider dealing with on the 7.3. And for the sake of your wallet, I hope you don’t on the new one. These newer diesels are amazing though!

I think they kinda get priced as a package deal…lol


I don't think it's a question of price. It's a question of DIFFERENCE from old to new.

You guys are silly.


We all need some humor in our lives.

OP, thanks for posting a picture. That is a nice looking rig! Your new2U truck is a much more capable truck, compared to your older, but dependable TV.

While the engine power improved in all brands, the transmission improvement was huge. The comfort level and quiet cabs also much improved over the 20 year old models.

I went from a 99 Superduty 7.3 diesel to a 2014 Ram 6.7 diesel , bought new . Had no idea there would be such a difference in the towing power . No comparison.
