You're behind the times....The new Powerstroke is an amazing engine. I'm behind the times as well. I had a couple of '90s Dodge/Cummins pick up. I developed a dislike for both Dodge and Cummins as a result that I still haven't entirely gotten over.
I guess it's nice having three choices.....we can allow our prejudice to rule one truck out and we're still left with a choice.
My boss has a 14 F250 Power Stroke and I'm not impressed! He averages 15mpg on his mostly rural 50 mph 40mile commute. The power isn't impressive, as it's just a little better than my 02 V-10! He hasn't had any issues wth it, but he doesn't use it as a 3/4 ton truck. Just too many past issues and present from others that I wouldn't want a new diesel. I really wouldn't want any new diesel!
Come on. I'm the last guy to defend Ford's track record with diesel engines over the last 15 years but a 2014 Powerstroke would run circles around your old gasser without breaking a sweat, and return a lot better fuel economy while doing so. I agree the Powerstroke seems to lag a bit in fuel economy, or at least the pre-2017 models did, but they don't do that bad considering the power they put out.
Well, going by what I see personally, they don`t make me want to have one! And I always like the newest and latest things!
Hook 20,000# behind the two trucks and go at it.;)
