new truck
Just traded off my 2005 6.0L xlt supercab 4x4 on a new 6.7L crew cab love the extra space and the power is is great. The new six speed auto seems silky smooth, and the best part is I dont have a urea tank!

Okay. What did you do? Go down to Mexico to purchase your new truck?

I hadn't heard that phrase since I watched the church lady on SNL back in the 80's. Now SNL comes on way past my bedtime. Thanks for the memories.

Well, at least we are being blunt and honest at the same time though.

I hope you enjoy your new truck but do not tangle with the new 6.7 Ford. It will hand you your pants.As to the def tank, so what. This is a huge amount of ado about nothing. The better performance and higher fuel mileages due to the def injection more than offset the 3 to 4 dents per diesel fuel gallon the def costs. I have went through 5 gallons in 6000 miles. It takes 5 minutes to pour in 2.5 gallons. The 6.7 Dodge has not had the stellar reputation the 5.9 enjoyed. As I said, enjoy your new truck

The new body style hasn't grown on me either... Not sure the 6.7 soot problems are really resolved unless you constantly run highway miles.

thanks for feedback fellas, just got home from camping trip new dodge was great! I drove ford trucks since 93. loved em all but the last one. Test drove everything with a diesel before i bought my dodge. In the end the dodge was miles ahead in to many areas to ignore.

. How exactly was the Dodge miles ahead? Was it the lower HP, lower torque, less payload, less towing capacity? Maybe the cheaper feel of the interior? Oh yeah, the lack of urea - that's worth 50-horse and 150 ft-lb. Yeah I'm busting your ***** a little, but what do you expect bragging on a Dudge on a Ford site? BTW, I can't afford a 2011 anything

Easy guys, it is not your money he spent. Hope you enjoyed your stay at FTE mittsoff and your always welcome back if you switch again. I came from GM products and found a home at Ford. My experience has been different with the Powerstoke, I love it.
