Ford 6.7L Powerstroke V8 Diesel
Wanted to get some feedback from 6.7L owners. Took a look at a DRW 8 foot bed Extended cab. Looked and sounded good. Replacing 2006 Silverado 8.1L Allison Crew Cab

My cousin has a 2011 F250 with the first edition of the 6.7 and he LOVES it. He abuses that truck. He works on a farm and the truck gets beaten daily. He goes hunting and fishing and takes the truck and it gets ridden hard and put away wet more often than not. He has never had a problem with it and loves it. He has since lifted it and put some bigger tires on it, so his mileage isn't as good, but he is very happy with it.
The newer 6.7's have some tweaks to the turbo and I know the exhaust braking is much improved. The only concern that I personally have is that you still have to take the cab off the truck to work on the engine. I understand that major engine repairs are hopefully unlikely, but having to pay a full days labor just to remove the cab makes a potentially expensive repair even more expensive.
The new Bosch fuel pump seems to have much better reliability than the original version used by both Ford and GM.
My cousin is having some transmission problems, but he believes that they are mostly his fault for the way he uses the truck.
Seems like a good truck, lots of HP and torque. Faster than my Cummins. Respectable fuel mileage and good tow ratings. Don't think you can go wrong with the Ford.
