I understand your issue.. the 2007 which is the 6.0L navistar engine could be one PITA engine.. but, when bulletproofed did become a very good engine with lot of HP/torque and above average MPG.
Just in a dollars and sense look if the' 07 is paid off the engine upgrades run 5-7K. Having a new vehicle is nice if you can swing the payments and such. New "car" warranty is a good thing but at what cost.
the new ford 2015s are nice indeed and going for some 50K.
ME, I try to find ways not to spend money is possible when possible. But sometime you gotta do what you gotta do..
Just sayin..

Honestly, from what I have read your diesel will get as good fuel economy as the Eco?. So IMHO why change??
Good question. Two reasons:
1) I have had one too many issues with the 2007 and want to buy something new with a warranty again.
2) I like the newer trucks and just want one
Very good info. For the difference in money, if the 07' is paid for, I would stick with it and save the money for any upgrades or repairs.
I'm still running a 2000 F-350 with the 7.3 and I have no reason to change.
