I have been having this thing about having a big pickup since I was 10. This truck is what I have been researching for a very long time and here it is. My dream pickup is a 1996 ford f-250 XLT 7.3l Powerstroke turbo diesel. What I want it to have is a extended cab, long box with a 5 speed manual or automatic transmission 4WD. The reason I am so inspired to have a powerstroke is because my uncle has one and he uses it as a ranch/farm truck. It has about 550k miles on it right now and still going strong as ever!
I want one because they are very good on performance. They could pull a 40 foot gooseneck fully loaded with bales of hay with no problem. An another thing why I want a powerstroke is because my uncle challenged a cummins that was lifted, had an upgraded turbo, upgraded injectors, Bully dog tuner, cold air intake, and stage 3 ATS transmission. Well my uncles being a farm truck, it was completely stock and no mods were added. Powerstroke vs. Cummins tug a war. Powerstroke instantly smoked the cummins and destroyed his big ATS transmission that was only a week old.
That Is why I love these powerstrokes. They could not have any mods and still pull a cummins with no problems. These 7.3l are the best. I like all the other ones but the 6.0l. The 6.0l is a really good engine, but there is one thing in it that makes it fail all the time. The factory oil cooler is a FAIL. All of them just suck. Another thing why I like the 7.3l is the mods being added. if you added a MBRP 4' turbo back exhaust to it, it sounds sick! A tuner from BDS diesel performance would also make it sound and work better!
So here it is. Here is a picture of the truck I am after for:
