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!
Either there is something wrong with your boss's truck, or this statement isn't defendable. The Dodge V10 was a good engine, but the new PS will out perform it in every way except for initial cost and possibly the cost of repairs. Acceleration (loaded or unloaded) and MPG comparisons are not even close.
