2012 F250 6.7 opinions

Only issue that I know about the 6.7 was a small batch in the first production run of the motor had problems with one of the cylinder heads and would drop a valve. But being that you're looking at a 2012, I don't think you'll have that issue. Fuel pumps are known to be a bit delicate (Bosch CP4.2 I believe and is an issue on the Duramax and VW/Audi motors as well) so make sure you fuel up from a trusty/reliable source.

Would be nice if they had a shot of the engine compartment to ensure it still has the OEM intake.

We have a 2000 Ford F350 with the 7.3L PSD, it is a crew cab, 4x4 with 125,000 miles on it and is in great shape for being 14 years old.

I had a dealer offer me $12,500 for it a month ago. So that should tell you what he would have put it on his lot for. I'm guessing he would have started at $16,000 or so at minimum....for a 14 year old truck.

A dealer near me has the identical truck to yours with similar miles on his lot for $25,000. He's crazy.

Me personally, I'd look around for something with a few less miles.
These things have some seriously complicated fuel and exhaust systems that would be pretty pricey to repair/maintain out of pocket.

Other than that, and a rather picky fuel system (hates any sort of moisture in the fuel system!) the 6.7 is pretty solid.

That's a ridiculous asking price, he wont get anywhere near that...

I would have a hard time purchasing any used truck for that price. I would look hard right now at any left over '14 models on the lots and perhaps in XLT trim just to get into a new truck.

In general I'm not a fan of buying used, but we do have to for our farm/ranch trucks which sometimes ends in a good purchase and sometimes you cut your losses and try again.

I have a '12 6.7 PSD that has ~ 46k miles and it's by far the best truck I've owned to date. Fuel economy ranges from 16.4 - 20 mpg consisting of city and Hwy driving (non towing).

To date I've replaced the wipers, shocks and just put on a new set of tires last month. Interior wise the leather seats are holding up really good and no rattles anywhere.

When I traded off my problem child 2011 Ford 6.7 truck with 76000 miles on the clock, I received $38,500 for the trade in...they put it up for sale for $41,500...

Regards

2012 F350 6.7 here. Completely trouble free. Rare to hear any bad about them.
