Which one is better, the old school bulletproof Powerstroke 7.3 or the amazingly quiet 6.7 Powerstroke? The fact that both of the engines are produced by Ford doesn’t leave a lot of space for a speculation. Plus we are aware that the technology moved ahead and the newer Powerstroke engines are surprising us and have a lot of highs as low emissions, fuel economy, quiet running, bigger towing capacity and more.

You said quieter? Hmm, what about the good old 7.3 Powerstroke sound? Can we just wipe out the engine which made the field for all of his ancestors and still counts as the most reliable Powerstroke engine ever made? Really we don’t think so, maybe the 6.7 has better performance but if you are a real diesel truck lover you will lack the pure V8 deep sound.

Just play the video below and see how the starting of the Powerstroke 6.7 passed unnoticeable and few seconds after you get used to that quiet and sophisticated V8 engine sound. But, that’s not the case with the good old boy, the Powerstroke 7.3, the starting idle is quieter, not like 6.7 and the moment it starts it bypasses the sound of his comrade! And believe us you cannot get used to that deep V8 sound because each beat of the engine will echoes in your ears! Isn’t that amazing?

Play the video below and see why we are more for the Powerstroke 7.3 besides the fact that is 14 years older than the 6.7. Maybe old and rusty, the body is expandable, but that deep V8 sound is ever-lasting, and each day will remind you of reliability, power and endurance. So, tell us your opinion on this interesting subject and if there was a voting which of these trucks would get your vote?
