my original post was incorrect. the truck we had in iraq was a 2010. It had the 6.4L
turbo lag like a bitch, but boy that was a tough truck.
I'd take one any day.
I had a 6.7 in Iraq. It was amazing. The only civilian truck the last an entire tour without major mechanical failure. Even the AC kept working. That was awesome.
Dropped it down a 12ft hole accidentally and had to get it pulled out with an MRAP.
