I don't think you can get a powerstroke truck that isn't PTO capable

PTO stands for power take off. its like what a tractor uses on the rear end to power hay grinders and other goodies. on trucks if i am correct it is used to power hydrullic systems which will in turn power air compressors and other goodies.
