"Be careful with the Ford. They have had issues with the High Pressure Fuel pump in the last few years. Has been a common problem and they don't stand behind the warranty and will cost you a pile of cash to fix if you run into a problem. Not sure if they have fixed it for 2015 or not."
Would you care to provide some (any?), documentation to support this claim? :R
Manufacturers (to include Ford), simply do not have the option of "not standing behind their warranties". I have a 2011 V-10 and have not seen word one on any fuel pump problems. :h
Well known problem with the Ford 6.7 PSD. The fuel quality in the US does not meet the requirements for the Bosch high pressure fuel pump used on these engines. Ford has been rejecting warranty stating that the fuel had water or other contaminants in it. It was discussed in length a back when this engine first came out and the problems started. Please note, this is the same fuel pump used on the Duramax, but GM was not rejecting warranty claims. One of the loudest voices was a Ford loyal customer that ended up going to Ram truck. The repair bill runs up to $10,000 by the time they replace all the fuel system components. I haven't heard much about it for a year or 2 so perhaps they changed their tune and are not rejecting warranty. VW also had the problem with their diesel cars in US.
