Here is my 2 cents worth, and I will say upfront that I have a Cummins. I have driven both trucks extensively. The Powerstroke is a nice engine, but the ones I have driven (I am currently on #3), seem to just loose a little breath when they hit about 60K miles. The Cummins runs as strong as the day I bought it. The Powerstroke starts kind of funny in my opinion. You gotta crank on it for a few seconds before it fires. The Cummins fires up immediately. If it ever didn't, I would be worried. The Powerstroke fuel mileage comes nowhere close to the Cummins. I drive a Powerstroke at work, and a Cummins at home. I can't comment on the new 6.0L Powerstroke, all the ones I have driven are the 7.3L model. Cummins VS Powerstroke has the makings of a classic battle kind of like Red VS Green. But we all know why they are green, its just envy.
