So to sum all these issues with the Ford's 6.7 up, maybe out of 400,000 produced and sold every year there are 100 or so bad ones?
I mean, are there any actual numbers out there that proves the 6.7 is not as reliable as maybe the Cummins in the last 4 years?
I realize there are going to be bad motors produced and I sure hope I do not have one, but surely no ones thinks it is that common.
Most of the issues that plague modern diesels is emissions related (DEF, DPF, HPFP, and all the sensors that go with it) which all three share to some degree. WHen it comes to the motors themselves as well as the drivetrain they are all fairly reliable.
If you live in an area that does not do emissions checks buy a tuner and delete all the emissions garbage and you will have a more reliable truck than any of the three can produce from the factory. The flip side is your powertrain warranty will be gone once you load a tune since all the new ECMs since about 2007 leave a footprint.
