My sources say no on the next Powerstroke being 1,000 lb-ft in the 2017.

Also, just because you increase torque at 1,700 rpm does not mean it will effect peak horsepower at 2,800 rpm. The 900 lb-ft of torque will increase the horsepower at 1,700 rpm to 291hp, but that is still not greater than the peak 385hp at 2,800 rpm.

Like what was said before, this whole "who gots the most power and tows the most" pissing contest is just about worthless to just about everyone here. If any of these diesels were not capable to tow what most owners need to while maintaining decent speeds and with power to spare then I can see the point. However, all three diesels can easily tow what most truck owners here need them to so bragging about power that you will never need or use in the real world is about as pointless as a shnit flavored lollipop. How about keeping the remaining power and capabilities while increasing fuel mileage. Do that and I will really be impressed.

I guess I'm excluded out of the "everyone" category here, because I really enjoy the extra HP and Torque my 6.7 PSD delivers over my 6.0 PSD towing or unloaded. And that's towing the same camper, boat, utility trailer/tractor-shredder it's just hands down a more enjoyable experience. And dusting an occasional truck just tops it off! :B

I'm looking forward to next years PSD that reaches the 1000 ft/lbs mark, and increase HP.

I said just about everyone. There are still some here that need a little more growing up to do.

That's why I was specific to "Just about Everyone"

I'm probably older than you think I am... I suppose my first car a Chevelle LS5 left an ever lasting impression on me! :W

I have seen a 55 year old man who still had some growing up to do. It is not about age and is more about a person's mentality.

However, if one has to purposely go out of their way to piss in someones sandbox by saying "mine is better than yours" just so he can get some kind of enjoyment to make himself feel better then I think that person has some growing up to do. If someone has to "dust" someone on public roads(instead of a track where it is safer) just so he can get his rocks off then I think that person has some growing up to do. Lastly, if some is still caught up in "my brand is better" then they definitely have some growing up to do regardless of age.
