Really impressive!
Still perplexed by the 6.8L, but...

Does this now nullify all the criticism Ram has had over the years for offering "2 diesels?"
Asking for a friend...

^^^ I think it did. I suspect the HO Powerstroke will have a torque curve that looks very close to this:

Which generates a power curve that will look like this:

Impressive numbers.

Someone please explain how you can get 8k payload on a F450 when the GVWR is 14k???

^^^ I don’t think you can. 8k payload is probably a 2wd F350 dually single cab XL model with the 6.8 litre gas engine.

With helium in the tires….and to think someone was cautioning against adding 100lbs dead load to the back of a HD truck here in another thread!

In 1992 I ran a Western Star with a Cummins Big Cam 400. I believe that engine was a 14 litre which made 400 HP at 2100 rpm and I think it made peak torque of 1150 lbft at 1200 rpm. I thought that was big power. The combined loaded truck and trailer weight was 87000 lbs.

You know that extra power will cost you a ton. Saw a 12k price add on for picking the HO Diesel. That's over the standard diesel when I configured a F450. Hard to pick it just for bragging.
