Opinions on new F350 Diesel

While I really love my old dually, I'm not getting any younger. So if I am ever going to have a new truck, now is a pretty good time. I've run across a 2015 SRW that a manager has been driving for about 7000 miles. It's a Platinum with everything. Any comments relating to reliability of this still fairly new engine, or any problems with the model generally?

List is nearly 68k, asking is nearly 54K.

FYI, it's a Ford or nothing.

  • The 2015 introduces an exhaust brake. Price seems a little high for something with that many miles. The 2015 block has also been strengthened for the uprated power. Turbo is much simpler as well, single sided compressor. Fuel pump was updated for more fuel flow, however No word if they resolved the delicate nature of the pump.
  • It's just a modified version of the 6.7L that has been out since 2011. It's been free of any major problems so far. You'll have to wait a couple years to see if the changes introduced any problems but I doubt that something will pop up.
