The 2011 Ford has the Ford built/designed "Scorpion" 6.7L diesel. NOTHING in common with the Cornbinder built Powerstrokes of old. I talked with two of my old diesel techs the other day who are still at a Ford store and they had nothing but good things to say about the 6.7. An old customer has an F350 4x4 crew with with the 6.7 and he has topped 20 MPG on a steady, easy cruise.

I would certainly look at the Ford. The Cummins in the Dodge is a great motor in a so-so truck IMHO, they finally went out into the market and got a decent automatic to go behind the engine. The GM twins are not bad trucks, but I would suggest a real, serious test drive in each to confirm what you are looking for.
