I review a 2022 RAM 2500 Cummins 6.7L Diesel Engine as a heavy duty mechanic and see how well this engine can tow a heavy trailer. we look at acceleration, fuel economy (mpg), engine braking, engine performance and engine design in comparison to a 2023 Ford F250 powerstroke to determine what is the Best Diesel engine for a pick up truck.

I hope everyone is having a good long weekend! Today I am behind the wheel of this awesome powerful 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine. and we are towing a heavy trailer behind this ram 2500 diesel.
so the first notable thing was the squat with the fully loaded up trailer. this truck squatted an extra inch over the F250 powerstroke which I think is probably associated with ram coil suspension set up.
one I got on the road, the cummins exhaust brake is absolutely amazing. it is pretty powerful and will stop the truck very well. when I was on the highway going down some steep hills the exhaust brake kept us at the perfect speed and is by far better then the Powerstrokes exhaust brake
in terms of acceleration, the Powerstroke was a much faster engine with a full load behind it. the Cummins did feel a little sluggish on the top end performance in comparison to the Powerstrokes top end power.
another very notible thing about the Cummins is the engine design. this engine is an inline 6 design which has a number of advantages. the first being the natural advantage of making torque extremely well and very low int he RPM band. this is amazing for towing.
fuel economy in the Cummins when towing was a little bit worse then the Powerstroke but with 14,000lbs behind the truck the Cummins was a pretty efficient engine.
overall the low end torque coming out of this 6.7L Cummins diesel engine is amazing to see, this resulted in the truck almost never having to downshift on hills which was cool to see.
hope you guys liked the video and part 2 coming soon!
