2020 F250XL 6.2 V8
In shopping at trucks and FW's simultaneously I was deadest on a diesel F250 or 350 (depending on the deal and need). Then I come across a new F250 Xl with the 6.2 V8 and 3.73 ratio. I know very littl...

Remember everything is relative - the HDT guys with ISXs and DD15s lugging up grades @ 1250rpm would say the little 1 ton diesels "screaming their heads off" at 2600 rpm is not relaxed enough...
Yep! And the drivers of the big ships would think anything over 102 RPM is screaming. It's all relative.
The OP now looking at a 100kmi+ Ford 6.7, I suggest looking for an extended warranty with the sale (Ford certified or other) on those engines, and price in what an injector replacement runs.
Can you add more detail? Are they prone to needing replacement at a certain mileage? What's the relative cost? Do I need an extended warranty? Been doing a lot of research and can't seem to find a lot of common issues. I have had my F150 5.4 for 14 years and 250k miles. It's had it's share of issues, especially with the plugs and coil packs, but I can sort that out on my own. I don't know much about diesels. Is the 6.7l problematic? I've asked a few fiends who were former ford dealers and they didn't mention anything about it. I don't want to infer but your advice is sort of vague. And I am not looking at 100k + trucks, I am looking under 100k. A few I am looking at this weekend are about 60-70k miles. Not a lot on a 2015 and 2016. From what I can tell, most of the turbo issues were fixed with an upgraded turbo from 2015 on. All things considered they seem to be very reliable engine for hundreds of thousands of miles.
The 2015 and up PSD's do not seem to have nearly as many issues as the 2011-2014's had. We still have a few fuel pump failure here and there on the 2015+ at our nine Ford dealerships nationwide and in our mostly Ford fleet, but it is not nearly as bad as the 2011-2014. The new turbo on the 2015's seem to last longer than the 2011-2014's as well, although they do not spool as quickly off the line but have more top end power. A 2015+ PSD at 100k is a solid buy and you should be able to put another 200k with good fuel and regular maintenance without issue.
