It’s kinda’ funny all the bragging about what brand has this much torque.
More than that has been available for a long time from either Fords Chevys or Dodges.
Bigger injectors, bigger and/or compound turbo setups, better electronics, stronger transmission parts, head studs, etc. can be installed on any of them and you can make more power than any stock new pickup.
None of the brands are limited to what their stock numbers are and even the older ones can do it.

Yeh, my old truck started out factory with 400tq, now it's a tad under 800, goes to show what you can do if you wan't.
My wife would be ok with driving it if I could make it ride like a modern 1/2 ton, have no exhaust diesel smell, be quiet as a gas engine..........:R :h
I guess thats why we just put her in a gas 1/2 ton truck.

^^^^I remember driving a preproduction dodge ram with a 5.9 cummins to the county fair in April '88 to put on display and I think that engine would run out of steam around ~2,000 rpm's so it was tuned more for industrial applications, but was a dog in a pickup, but then again they all were in those times.

JCB Fastrac tractors used the Cummins 5.9. 6000 hours was about it. CaseIH, those I’m familiar with used other Cummins engines with better longetivity more in line with John Deere, New Holland, and others.
I’m not knocking the 5.9/6.7. It may be just fine in a pickup truck where it only runs max performance for short spurts but it just isn’t what it’s bigger siblings are at all contrary to what some want to claim.

Based on my past trucks by the time I get 100,000 miles on my Ford it will likely be in next to new condition. I'll still be ready for a new one.

Just look at the Cummins High Mileage Club!
I went to the high mileage club and filtered on 1,000,000 miles and came up with (115) 5.9 CTD and (6) 6.7 CTD.
The 5.9's with over 1,000,000 are mostly the low HP versions.
OK, how many 6.0L, 6.4L and 6.7L Powerstrokes have hit that milestone? 😉 :B
I won't put the tried and true 7.3L in that question because it is a great engine that I've got a ton of respect for and I've read of several that have.
