My mom's boss is looking for a new truck. ( for work. So hauling and snow plowing ) I said PowerStroke but he wants a chevy for some stupid reason. ( he currently has a 97 7.3 ) why should he get a 6.7? Anything you like that the Ford has that chevy doesn't have? I am almost positive I am going to have to test drive both and put them head to head in challenges ( he's a millionaire but doesn't show it ) I was thinking towing challenge or something like that?

The only reason to get the Chevy is for the Allison transmission. If I were in the market for a new HD diesel, it would be a Ram.
Ford body, Cummins I6, Allison = Best HD truck ever. /dream

The Allison trans in the LDTs such as the Chevy 25-3500s is a flaming pile of ****. Why anyone associates them with the mdt or hdt segment is beyond me.

Yea, Allison's are true garbage. How people think they are good is beyond me. Then there is the entire IFS front end on a Chevy. Rides nicer, but not heavy duty enough as a solid front axle is.
Ford has gone back to a VGT turbo on the 2015. With a better high pressure fuel system and the proven transmission and chassis...Ford is the only way to go...

The 6R140 Torqshift that Ford uses is a fantastic transmission. The Allison is not a bad transmission but they don't like a lot of power, and like to go into limp mode when they aren't happy.

The 6.7 is a tried and proven diesel engine and has the most power and torque in its class especially for 2015. As others have mentioned the sales numbers speak for themselves.
