Not good for Ford. They've had something like 4 diesel engines in about 10 years. The newest one is not proving to be any better. I like a Ford truck, but they just don't have that engine right. My good friend is highly placed in Ford. When I was shopping for a diesel 3/4 ton this year I asked him his thoughts, as going by Internet forums brings out the die-hards from all sides - I wanted facts.
He gave me this advice: Do not buy the Ford diesel. They are seeing a lot of problems with them that may take years to iron out, if ever. His advice: go to the Ram with the Cummins if going diesel. To me that was all I needed. This person sees everything come through - good and bad - with Ford (and the others!) and for him to say stay away was the final straw. If only Ford and Cummins had come together years ago......
I now own a new 2013 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn with the Cummins - very happy with it!
Agree, get a real Diesel engine. Ram with the Cummins. Just look at all of them on the road. |
