I would advise waiting til 2019, new truck same 6.7 but ALL emissions will be downstream of the engine and will no doubt blow the others away in the real world of towing.
While that may be true, I'd still wait a few years to see how reliable it is. My dad and I both got burned on the first generation 6.7 with DPF/SCR. I'm not saying it will definitely have issues but I am saying that I'm not willing to test it for them in real life especially if I planned to buy it as my "last" truck.
Not worried, I bought the first year of the Factory Rear Aire Ride with no issues running at full RAWR. They have been working on this I know for a fact since Summer 2016 and no doubt before. Clean engine, I will take my chances. Besides they have 100K warranty.
