2017 Heavy Duty 2500/250 - Gas Engine Changes?
Well, I thought I was done in January 2016 when I bought a new Ram 2500 with 6.7 Cummins.
I guess the recent Baton Rouge flooding has changed my plans. The truck, which was parked in my garage, was in 39 inches of water and is a total loss. Good news is I was well insured on the house and vehicles. But I need to buy a new truck.
In January I really considered the gas heavy duties before deciding on the diesel. My question is this - Does the new 2017 model year heavy duty gas trucks offer any real improvements over 2016?
Looks like the gas engines are unchanged as far as I can tell. Same on transmissions, except the Ford F250 has a gas specific transmission. Some rumors on the GM 6.0 having an 8 or 10 speed transmission. I just don't have the time to research like I normally would therefore I hope to leverage your knowledge. Thanks for any information. Keith
FYI - My fifth wheel ready to camp is about 12,500 lbs.
