Ah, gotchya.
The F-250/F-350 and especially the F-450 are pretty badass, but its the diesel motor that is holding it back from being really good.
Lets all hope that Ford does it a lot better this time around when it makes this new Scorpion motor...cause the Powerjokes have been the laughing stock of the Light Duty diesel truck world for about 8 years now...

The 6.4s are doing pretty good once you ditch the DPF, if the scorpions dont do well I may pick up a 6.4 used. IDK, got a good while before I make that purchase, maybe by then there will be a new body style GM. One things for sure I wont be buying a Dodge.

Damn man, even a 6.4L is pretty crappy in my book. And its a shame that the Cummins is wrapped in the biggest POS of a truck... But if it was me, I would go with an 06 or 07 Classic LBZ truck with the 6 speed Allison.Originally Posted by 1slow01z71
I am gunna be constantly watching the ongoing development of the Scorpion cause Ford has plagiarized on the design/architecture of the GM 4.5L Duramax that was suppose to go in the 1/2 trucks. It looks like a good design that is gunna work well...

There are some similarities but its not a copy by any means.
Ive already had the classic LBZ, looking to move on to something else. The interior is WAY outdated. The 6.4 is doing pretty damn good if you read up on them, atleast on par with the LMM, and to top it off the trans that backs it is light years ahead of the allison as far as power handling capability just wish it had a 6th gear.
Like I said who knows what Ill get by the time Im ready to purchase, the NNBS dmax's looks wise just dont do it for me and theyre behind ford and dodge on interior space and creature comforts. Along with many of the other gripes about the NNBS trucks I doubt Ill be driving one but its going to be 3ish years before starting looking. Ive got two vehicles to buy before I get to buy me a dually.
