Location: Wisconsin | So I also have some questions, this year i want to upgrade from my duramax, to something new around 2011 or 2012. Looking at another GM or Ford. Yikes buying a newer diesel seems scary with the problems people have. Any opinions on the Ford 6.7 engine? Or stay away completely? How bout trannys on them? |

My dad has a 2012 with the 6.7. It's been a good truck for him, but at around 140,000 miles the dealy where you have to add the emissions stuff messed up. I think it was the sensor in the system. Anyway, it shut the truck down to idle. |

Location: Online | The 6.7 is the way to go. Very few problems. They are a joy to drive. All trucks will have their issues, but they have been out there for 3 years and I haven't heard one horror story. My FIL drives the 6.7 exclusively, has not had one problem and he pulls a loaded 30 ft cow trailer every day. |

Location: Texas | We have a 2008 F450 with a 6.4 and they are known to have an oil leak and can have the engine cavitation issue.
My parents traded in my 6.uhoh and got me a 2014 F250… totally basic model- vinyl seats, manual locks and windows, extended cab. I LOVE IT. it gets GREAT mileage, like 22 on the highway and 18 in the city. Haven't hauled anything with it yet. |
