Congrats on the new truck !
if you check my sig, I've listed my personal trucks, but none of my work trucks -
I still think the 7.3 was the best engine ever built - noisy, but solid.
The 6.7 is hands and feet above the 6.4. I really liked my 6.4, but it ate me out of house and home on fuel. The 6.7 does everything better and eats less.

This isn't from Ford, but aftermarket. I had originally thought I was going with an F-450, but it was not available on that truck. I didn't need the extra capacity of the 450, so went with the 350 which did come with the warranty which is the primary reason I went with this dealer along with price.

I do have to say, when I bought my 6.4, the 6.7's were still very new and I didn't even bother looking at one because I knew it was new technology and Ford doesn't have the best track record with first MY of a new generation truck. Plus the incentives were CRAZY on the 2010 6.4's to try and clear them out.
A few weeks after purchase, I received a survey about the truck and the few things I said I would change on the 6.4, we're already on the 6.7, ie, rear AC vents, AC'd seats, locking rear seat/compartment.
My biggest drawback is the change in the King Ranch leather. It's not the same saddle leather that made the KR edition. It seems like plastic to me compared to my 6.4.

I know the 6.7L is still new, and there may not be enough guys that have experience with both, but I was wondering if the 6.7 is exponentially better than the 6.4 to consider the expense of buying a new (6.7) over the savings of buying a (used) low mileage (20K-ish) 6.4L.
Those who have traded the 6.4 for the 6.7, what do you think? For others, opinions?
