I've never seen low twenties, more like 17-18. Awesome motor though with tons of power.

I agree with this statement as well. It is the 4th diesel I have owned and it is hands down one of the best right out of the box.

I'm towing 12-13k with ease. I had a 6.4 before and didn't expect a big difference with the 6.7 but its night and day between the two. If you go drive one you better bring your check book cause your probably gonna bring it home.

If you think it pulls good now, just wait till the motor gets a few miles on it!! I can tell you from experience that it only gets stronger, I have a 2012 and it pulls my boat effortlessly. I have one for work as well 53k on it pulls 25k trailer with plenty of power to spare for merging and passing. trailers have great braking systems for stopping as well you will love it!
