Neighbor got a 6.7 and compares to 6.0 F350

My neighbor just got an 07 3500 with the 6.7. It is VERY quiet and made my truck sound noisy. He had a beautiful King Ranch F350 with the 6.0, his second in a row, but had too many problems with both of them. His company has some Duramax's and he said that they have been pretty good but have had some sensor issues.

I asked him how he likes the Dodge so far and he said that it tows better. If he tried pulling a big hill with the F350 it would down shift and the engine sounded like it was going to come apart but the Cummins still pulls good at 1800 RPM. He has a huge 5th wheel toy hauler that I am not sure on the length but has triple axles.

His last comment to me was that the 6.0 will be the death of Ford. He also said that the whole neighborhood has Dodges which is partially true. We outnumber the Fords 3 to 1 and there are no Duramaxes.

How many miles does he have on it now? Has he experienced any of the little quirks with the emissions sytems yet?

He has only had it a couple weeks. I am guessing less than 1000 miles. He towed with it and did not have any issues.
