Way more powerful then the outgoing duramax and 11% more fuel efficient.

That's just great.

ill take the SLIGHTLY less powerfull Ford over the weak front end and lack of ground clearance and tiny wheels/tires...

Lets see who the heavy duty truck of 2011 is. Is there really any doubt? I think not.

Towing for the chebbie is still 4k lbs under the Ford...7 hp and 30 ft-lbs is irrelevant when you're looking at such high numbers lol. I just hope the new powerstroke is a little less troublesome than the last couple motors.

If this new Power Stroke has problems I bet it will put Ford in a world of hurt for their Super Duty's since the last 2 diesels weren't exactly the best. I'm just praying it is a good engine and picks up Ford truck sales.

You might want to realize that this new GM HD truck has a new Fully Boxed HD Frame!.....Like it or not it will be giving FORD quite a run for the money...

I didn't realize that it had a boxed frame. I hope this 6.7 works out for Ford. Hate to see GM take over in trucks.
