To add to that when Spud posted a link to fleetowner that showed the current 6.7PSD has ~75% of the diesel engine marketshare to the <25% cummins market

I do not know what fleetowner you are taking about. Every new Ambulance, Wrecker and Armored car I have seen in the last couple three years was on the a RAM chassis.

This was posted on TDR site today by cummins12v98.

"I just arrived yesterday in Elkhart, IN the RV Capitol of the world. I traveled from SoCal starting last Wednesday and traveled thru CA, AZ, NM, MO, IL and IN. I noted every RV hauler and hotshotter with a DOT sign on the side of their truck. I assumed it would be RAM, GM and then Ford way last but not so.

Results

RAM 59 Dually's, 5 SRW Total 64

Ford 10 Dually's, 5 SRW Total 15

GM 7 Dually's, 3 SRW Total 13

I stopped counting once I hit Elkhart. I have seen MANY RAM's here since yesterday with a couple fords and GM's.

My experience driving I-5 is different with the vast majority being RAM's and about 1/3 being GM's and near no Fords each trip North and south."

Real trucks doing real work!

Sounds like the blind leading the blind over at TDR. :R

I can say we did the same when driving from Texas to Florida we counted HD trucks pulling campers. What we found was a ratio of 10 Fords to every 1 ram. The ram count increased once we reached Texas but it's clear the southern states favor Ford and GM over ram. Perhaps the folks here prefer American built trucks than the northern states.

As for the Ambulances and the utility trucks are dominated by Ford F450/F550 and again the Ford Power Stroke has 75% of the market share compared to the cummins 25% so it's clear who dominates. The Houston area is growing like crazy and the utility trucks are all over and they are all Fords. I've yet to see a single ram in this sector, but I do see few ram's with a ambulance package but again this area is dominated by Ford.
