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 buddy bought a new 2015 in Feb. of last year. Hauls rv's to dealers every where. I do the maintance. 197K miles, regular oil changes, 1 set shocks, replaced hanger bearing and did u-joints because I had shafts out. Not 1 hick up at all.

I've had no issues from my '15. Lots of power and it pulls my fifth wheel effortlessly. It's also very easy to maintain with how they locate all the filters. I changed both fuel filters and the air filter in 10-15 minutes not too long ago. I'd buy again in a second if I had to.

I had a 2011 that was trouble free. Then I went back to Ram and then just a couple weeks ago I bought a new 2016 F350 dually. I mainly missed the better transmission in the ford but the new dually rides better than my 2012 ram dually did.

I have a 2012 F350 6.7 bought new. Great truck. Tows the 5er over Colorado mountain passes with ease.

They are awesome trucks! I love mine. Tons of power, good mileage, trouble free so far, and very comfortable. Is the one you looked at new? As has been stated, in 2015 the turbo, and exhaust brake were improved. The 6.7 has proven to be exceptional. Major repairs to this engine have been rare, with the possible exception of the job 1 2011's. Cab off repairs? Meh, not a big deal any more. Ford shops are set up for it, the truck is designed to acomidate it, and the techs are trained. It was (Is), much more common on the previous generation of Navistar engines trucks. If your the type of person that likes to not have to worry, then an extended warranty, and MBI are your friends.

I know the other brands make good trucks as well, so if your so inclined, check em out, but you asked about the Ford, and I can tell you that Ford trucks have always been good to me. Good luck, and keep us posted.

WE have 73K miles on ours and it has been basically trouble free

I have a '12 6.7 with 93k miles. So far it's a great truck with not a single repair to date. Awesome power, fuel economy and over all truck package with no interior rattles, leather is holding up great and paint still looks new. Replace tires every 45k miles, windshield wipers, and third break light bulb to date.

I have a "15" 6.7 and love it... It is a strong motor, with lots of power. As stated before, it also has an improved exhaust brake feature , in 15, they added an on/off button for the exhaust brake.

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.

Well you've come to the right place. There's about 1000 threads of feedback. Half have ford in the title and the other half are asking opinions about another brand but interjected with plenty of Ford "feedback."
Happy reading!
