I've been looking into the 6.7's for a couple months now, from what I've been reading on various sources, the trucks as they come from the factory with all the emissions stuff is what kills them. If you fully delete the emissions, it will be a good truck. Can any vouch for this? Also when they say fully delete the emissions, what does that entail? Any idea what the price point would be?

Next, how would the truck do for me? 95% of the driving I do currently could be done in a car, I don't use my truck as a truck for the most part. The other 5% is hauling and stuff, but my '97 F-150 can handle it. I'm looking into a heavy duty truck because I want to eventually get a camper. I know trucks like the 6.0's aren't daily drivers, but how are the 6.7's? Are they strict tow vehicles, or could they be a daily driver? I'd be getting a car to drive daily, but If I'm going to spend 30k (looking at used), I'd be driving on Fridays or something, at least once a week. I am looking at the 6.2's, but they are no where to be found, and ironically they seem to be about the same price, if not more than a diesel. I also have no problem jumping to a 7.3L, would the 6.7, or 7.3 be a better fit for me?

Get the diesel, mines just a driver also maybe pull my camper 8k but not much more your resale will be way better also over a gasser

Do you have the 6.7?

If this helps any, my next truck will be a 6.7. I just have to find the right price on the one I want.

The 6.7 is perfect compared to the 6.0 and 6.4 lol. I have not heard of two many issues with the engine.

While I've never had a Ford diesel, I had a 2011 LML Duramax that went to the dealer 7 times over a faulty DEF sensor that would cause truck to go into limp mode. I've gone gas since then. Pull your hauler with an Ecoboost before you decide.

As I understand it, earlier 6.7L trucks had some issues with the turbocharger. This has been corrected in the 2015 and 2016 trucks which use larger and different turbocharger. It seems the 6.7L diesels are shaping up to be the best diesels since the 7.3L. I just got mine so I'll have to see how it goes.

I loved my 15 but had a fuel system scare that sent me back to a 150, water in fuel will say bye bye to your warranty. The risk reward was not there for me. Not fords fault at all just how it is

I maintain a fleet of vehicles. We have quite a few 6.7 engines. They run smooth and drive really nice. Lots of power, quiet. They do have some problems though. They have 2 radiators instead of 1 and they do tend to leak at the tank seams just like the 6.4 radiators did. Of corse they are very expensive and difficult to access. We have had some EGR coolers fail requiring replacement, really not all that difficult to access on this engine. Several exhaust temp sensors have failed on us causing the truck to go into limp mode. Several DPF Pump assemblies have failed on us, again causing limp mode. Just had the entire dashboard out of a 2012 f250 w 6.7 last week because the evaporator core was leaking. That sure was a time consuming pain in my ***. We have not had any turbo issues or fuel system issues or major engine failures at all though. Some of out older 6.7s are getting up around 150k miles. They have been much better than the 6.4 engines, but I still would not want to personally own one out of warranty.
