2012 6.7 psd
Hey there folks my dad is looking into buying a F-250. He's looking at the new 6.7 L powerstroke, what do you guys think of the truck and is there any major problems popping up like the old 6.0 L. I figured ill ask here first before ill join a diesel forum.

We tow our two expensive race cars with 2011 6.7's, one is a 250 and the other is a DRW 350. There has been zero problems on either. The 350 has over 10k on it, the 250 has 4k on it in 4 months. We just did a 1600 mile round trip to Oklahoma and not any trouble. A friend has a SRW 350 with over 30k and he hasn't had any problems either.

look around on powerstrokenation at them. I had one and had nothing but trouble for six months before I traded it. Loved the power and the interior but hated the mpg, the day I bought it it had to go into the shop for a week. There has been some turbo issues but that was on the first ones that came out. They are real sensitive to wif and Ford will leave you with the bill on that one.

X2 on checking powerstrokenation. Ive been an active member for a while over there, and there is some amazing info. I have been watching the 6.7 forum, and have seen a few turbo failures and two electrical fires, but for the most part the guys like em. The 6.0 was a disaster because there were so many things introduced with them, and the time engineering just wasnt there.

Well we encountered our first problem. With the 10k pound trailer when you got on it the truck would vibrate. Turned out to be a loose bolt on the tranny yoke. So they are replacing the whole yoke. Hopefully we'll have it back soon.

apparently the 12 model has had some tweaking in the ECU to make it superior to the 11's that were having issues. I can't vouch for this however. I have met people that love them, and get good mileage, the whole nine yards. And I have talked to people who absolutely hate them.
I do know that they are HEAVY, don't expect a racecar with those big hp/tq #'s.
