I have owned a new dodge 5.9 since labor day weekend. I love it. I get 20-21 mpg on freeway and when I pull my 20 ft. enclosed on our 1000 mile round trip for hunting with 2 wheelers, and 14 days of supplies for 5 men, and hopefully a couple of deer on the way home, I get over 16. That is with a standard cab, 6 speed manual and no dually. I think that the decision comes to whether or not you need the torque or not, and if you need engine longevity. The 5.9 is indestructable and has been around longer than dirt. I don't know anything about the 6.7. I don't know why you would fix something that isn't broken, but they did. Make sure you get a 06 or later because of the ultra low sulfer fuel, or at least run Power Service conditioner year-round. It's well worth the effort.
