More "one-upmanship"?

So apparently Ford has some big news about their 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel they are going to announce at the Texas State Fair.

I'm betting it's more powa! They probably are hating the fact that the RAM equipped with the 6.7L Cummins has them whopped in the TQ number for the ads, and in the max towing number by a huge margin.

"Worth noting is that Ford just tweeted that it will have some kind of announcement about changes to the Super Duty's turbo-diesel 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 engine. Ford has been quiet about this one, which usually means there aren't many significant changes or there could be a huge surprise waiting for us at the fair. Last year we got some new luxury trim packages; maybe this year we'll get more towing capacity to better compete with Ram HD."

Apparently, Sept 26th is the day we will all find out.

Truck sales/marketing is nothing but one-upmanship.

I love how all the "wish we were the#1 brand" detractors howl with laughter about near ancient history but fume when it's given back to them. It's OK though, one has to survive off of the public dole and one sales discount trucks in the #3 slot. 🙂

They already have a warranty so maybe they are going to announce they will start standing behind it! Come-on that's funny right there!

When did Ford, GM, or Dodge not have big news to report about their trucks?
