Actually.....you can get a Super Duty F250 with a Cummins, factory direct, from Ford Motor Company, and have been able to do so for many years.
If, that is, you live in Brazil. It's a 4 cylinder in case you're curious. Here is an actual screenshot of Ford's Brazil site for the non-believers:

Chimichanga, Chorizo, with a side of Pico de gallo and some Sangria.
A 4 door shortbed F250 with a factory Cummins diesel. Has the world spun backwards on its axis yet?

Tunnel vision is a bad thing, especially in the diesel industry. Its a world market.

In 1990, Schacht convinced Ford Motor Co., Tenneco Inc., and Kubota Ltd. to invest a combined total of $250 million in a 27 percent stake in Cummins. The CEO used the infusion of capital to pay down debt and expand European operations. When sales of long-haul trucks bounced back in the early 1990s, Cummins's long years of preparation paid off. In 1993, the company enjoyed its first annual profit since 1987. In 1994, after seeing the company through one of its most difficult periods, Schacht announced that he was stepping down as CEO. That year--Cummins's 75th in business--the company achieved record sales of $4.74 billion and, perhaps more important, record profits of $252.9 million. James A. Henderson succeeded Schacht as CEO, and Theodore M. Solso became president and chief operating officer. They inherited a company well-positioned to capture significant shares of the vital Japanese and European markets. Henderson became chairman and Solso became president in 1995.
