Fords 6.7 Scorpion Diesel motor
Anyone have any long term experience with this motor,such as towing ,likes ,dislikes. I like the looks of the Super Duty,but did'nt like the 6.0 motor. Just wondering about the new one. Thank you

Bottom line, what happened to Ricatic was very unfortunate. For whatever reason his pump failed, Ford took quite a beating on this forum and others. For right or wrong, they got a decent amount of bad press for failing to cover a damaged item. It is what it is.
That being said my cousin has a 2011 F250 with the 6.7. He treats it like crap. Runs it hard on the farm, tows way overloaded, doesn't let it cool down after riding it hard, runs it around the city on errands, etc. He LOVES it. Has tons of power and gets decent mileage on the highway. He is over 80K miles last I checked at Thanksgiving.
If I needed a diesel, I would certainly look at what Ford has to offer. I'm not sure if you need to lift the cab to work on the engine though. Something you might want to look into.
For my money though, the Ram's look like the best option.
