I went from a 99 Superduty 7.3 diesel to a 2014 Ram 6.7 diesel , bought new . Had no idea there would be such a difference in the towing power . No comparison.

OP, thanks for posting a picture. That is a nice looking rig! Your new2U truck is a much more capable truck, compared to your older, but dependable TV.
While the engine power improved in all brands, the transmission improvement was huge. The comfort level and quiet cabs also much improved over the 20 year old models.

I don't think it's a question of price. It's a question of DIFFERENCE from old to new.
You guys are silly.
