I see this as my only option for my next tow vehicle IF I want to stay with Ford. Just can't see myself buying a Ford 6.7. I would always be wondering when the fuel pump is going to grenade. Neighbour here at our park in Largo had his 2016 die last week. The fuel pump took out the fuel system. 30,000 miles on the truck!!
THERE WAS NO WATER IN THE FUEL AND WARRANTY IS COVERING IT.
IF I go diesel it will probably be a 2017+ GM.

I buy a new vehicle every 20 years or so. I have always thought a diesel pickup was not the best idea for most buyers. If you drive less than about 10000 miles a month, the price of fuel would never save the cost of the upgrade. The extra long life of the engine is mostly wasted because most pickups are not junked because the engine wore out. Then add the problems the emission controls cause, and the outrageous cost of some repairs that are needed by too high percentage of owners.
I'm thinking that the big spark plug motor might be a good choice...
