You got that right. The 7.3 was a great engine, not my favorite, but it was a reliable workhorse. The 6.0 on the other hand...

I drove this truck quite a few months ago in Charlotte and it was one fine truck. It also rode well. I hope DC does the same thing in 07. The only downside to this truck was the framing between the 350 bed and the 550 frame. It looked a little weak to me. I think it have a 19.5k GVW.

I'd buy one if I had one of those 20k lb Teton or similar 5th wheels. I don't care much for the new front end but the towing ability would trump the looks department. If they have few problems the first year they're going to be a huge success.
