I've had no issues from my '15. Lots of power and it pulls my fifth wheel effortlessly. It's also very easy to maintain with how they locate all the filters. I changed both fuel filters and the air filter in 10-15 minutes not too long ago. I'd buy again in a second if I had to.

I just changed my oil and oil filter this afternoon on my Power Stroke. Took all of 20 minutes tops. Nice thing is there's no crazy gimmicks to cap the oil filter, no saran wrap, no removing the air filter tubing non sense. Just a simple unscrew oil filter and drop it into the oil pan like God intended. :B

That's great to hear that Ford made things so easy!!

I heard that since the 6.Oh and 6.4 problem Ford started to make changing engines much easier for the mechanic for the 6.7. Like turbo's that are held onto the engine with 1/4 turn fasteners so when they blow the turbo's are easy to R&R.

The valve covers and heads now come with Dzus fasteners so when the valve heads start falling off of the stems they are not too bad to change out.


The radiators now come with quick disconnects on the hoses so when the radiator takes a dump you can change it on the road. and your vacation is saved.

The glow plugs that fall off into the cylinder are pretty easy to replace, but it will take out the entire engine.

Anyway it's good to see Ford is making things easier for the mechanics and homeowners like you Fish. :B

What's an engine drive belt????

All the important stuff on my Cummins 5.9 is gear driven. :B

And the air filter was a snap too. Just pop 4 latches and remove top lid... Wipe off debris inside filter box and filter sealing surface and reattach lid.

I agree the fuel filter replacement is a very easy process as well with well designed fittings that makes the job a breeze.

My truck will be 4 years old next month and I still love this truck.

Ford owns the entire center of the country according to IHS Automotive.

IHS most popular new vehicles

Seems like here in the south you can't throw a rock without hitting a Ford. Ford also dominates with vehicles over 200,000 miles with GM closely behind.

Top vehicles over 200k

That's why the advertisement "Built Ford Tough" resonates with the market.

To funny.

Are you saying Polk produces false surveys. I suppose your going to say next that those are not real American's building those truck too :R... Again another Ram Mafia continues to discredit when the numbers are not in their favor.

We're currently expanding our factory and 99% of the contractors on the job sight are driving Fords and some look light they're worked really hard, especially the welding trucks.

Nice try ram mafia.... :W

I have seen nearly those GM and Ford numbers than that just on the turnpike going through OH and PA during the high delivery season.

Maybe you could edit this so that we could understand what you are saying? Chris

I have seen as many GM and F as cumins has seen on his cross country trip in 1-2 states depending on time of day/season. So I don't know how much weight I would place on mine or his observations in this unscientific test.

im on my 3rd ford, first was a 6.4, cranked 100k miles never had an issue, last one was a 2011 6.7 one little issue fixed under warranty. I hope my luck hasn't run out with the new one, 2016 6.7...the way some of you guys talk It might not start this weekend...or could implode!

As for who has the best selling trucks, I don't care, when I bought mine I tried all 3 and bought the one that fit me and was the best deal for me. I came close to buying a 2016 ram, not because I think the cummins is better, but it was a good price and I liked the looks/features.
