Op, get a long bed for the bigger tank.
13-14 is the best 6.7 out there. I wouldn't ever buy a first year motor/truck again, so wait for 16-17 if you want the new higher output 6.7's.
08-10 is 3 years if my math is right.
Agree^^^ the DPF on the 6.4's and the whole regen process is a joke.
All 11's and early 12' are prone to turbo issues (my 11 had a turbo replaced under warranty). Late 12-14 have an upgraded "hyper" balanced turbo.
You should have waited to get the 15. lol. Huge difference in the output. That being said, you should check out dieselpower on Youtube. They had the 2013 competition for diesels. There was at least one 6.7 there. They were modified to some degree, but all of them got good gas mileage. Plus the 6.7's are getting easier to get more power/mpg out of with tunes. My buddy hasn't said much about anything bad on the new 6.7's. He works in the maintenance department for warranty work at a local Ford dealer.
One thing about putting a tuner on is that Ford has told many dealers that they have to report any errant files in the PCM from a tune to void the entire powertrain warranty. That being said, a tune would wake up the truck like you wouldn't believe.

picked it up today man its fricken awesome also blew the rear end in my old F150 glad its not my issue no more.
the truck was stupid in price but really did not care.
did the free of charge maintenance plan truck was 70 grand and by the time I added everything and with interest was 109 grand. plan to pay it off asap to save on interest.
trip home was amazing this truck has pure raw awesome pulling power.
I thought about the 2015 but id wait after all of ford issues. but the truck gets better mileage than my eco boost but still going to do it the old way to confirm the real numbers. I ended up with a $1514 payment a month but its covered completely so I'm not worried. very happy
hopefully it last more than 2000km
