Detuned version of the new 6.7L power stroke - phillip stahl - 09-07-2010
If I may ask, why in this world would ford be so narrow minded and only have 300 hp on the cab and chassie trucks? I currently own a 2011 f450 with a machanic body weighing 19200 pounds and the truck is so under powered its rediculous.sad thing is 90% of their sales people dont even know this so that they could tell the customer before they sell it to them.any idea what it would cost to replace the turbo,intake and exhaust?

Engines have to be de-tuned in heavier trucks in order to get a reasonable life out of them because they spend much more of their time putting out close to their maximum capacity.

Yep. Paid drivers don't "baby" vehicles like pickup owners. Its one thing to pump up power and show off every so often, but commercial trucks are driven WOT most of their lives.
I think there are tax incentives to it as well.
