I would look at reliability too, ESPECIALLY regarding emissions and fuel pumps. Not sure the industry has a complete handle on what the EPA mandated a few years back.
Has there been any documented differences between the 6.6 Duramax and 6.7 Scorpion in regards to current fuel pump and emissions reliability? Has Ford 100% solved their pump issues? Did GM ever have a pump issue?

I would consider keeping your current truck and fixing it up. Might be cheaper anyway.
I'd love to do that, considering the note is long paid off, but the question is *what* to fix up. The last two failures came out of the blue. It's what I don't know that needs fixing that has caused me to lose confidence in my current ride as a long distance hauler.
I could spend a ton of money on "proactive" repairs, and still have a 10 year old truck.
