Is there a 2012 thread out there? Got the email teaser about the article... the towing capacities he lists must be for the dually? Hate it when they don't specify what model they are referring to...

People liking the 6.7L over the 6.0L or 6.4L ?

 

This will be it, right here. Or if your interest is in the 6.7 diesel or 6.2 gas, there are forums dedicated to those power plants as well.

I tried to build one online a couple of days ago, and noticed they didn't offer the FX4 package. In fact nothing I could select would get skid plates on the truck. But the 2012 order guide still mentions the FX4 package, so I figure they just haven't yet finished updating their web software.

 

I built one today and was able to select the FX4 package.

 

Both the 2011 and the 2012 are identical why would they a different section???

 

Don't know, looked like the towing capacities have been increased?? Or are they restating what they did last year? I just wanted to know how the 6.7L were doing over the 6.4L (poor mileage reports) and 6.0L's. Tring to figure out if I should somehow try to get a new truck or find an '05 - '07 (replace the headbolts/egr) and run with it.

If we don't want a new thread I can sure post questions in the 2011 thread... (once i find it )

 

Lots of good information on the new motor down in the diesel section:

Looking strictly at payload numbers, in general #'s went up about 600 lb's across the board. I can't recall exactly but I'm pretty sure my truck was sitting at 2950 with new models being 3650.

 

A few of you that replied have '11s, how do you like them? Don't know if we will see any better incentives on the 11's as the '12 start rolling.

 

I've had a couple gremlins with it but nothing major. After the last trans update, the shifting issues have been 99% non-existant (had 1 hiccup since applied).

The majority of those with the 6.7's seem to enjoy their trucks as well. There's the occassional bad apple truck but nothing like the horror stories I've read of past diesels.

I don't think the incentives/rebates are going to get any better than they are now. If you wait until dealers start stocking the '12's, you may see some '11's drop in price but you'll be limited to the inventory they have on hand.

 

Kind of surprised with the economy the way it is that we aren't seeing the $5 - $8K rebates we have seen in the past.
