I'm looking into another Diesel but after the 6lit engine, I'm a little gun shy. How's the 6.7lit?

Thanks,
Lee

 

It's not good, it's AWESOME! I actually loved my 6.0, but this thing really just blows it away.

 

Very good.
For perspective, my 2000 7.3 had more warranty work done to date at its same point in life.

 

So far my 2013 has not been back for any work.


No troubles at all.


Seems pretty good.

 

My 2011 is a Job 1 which like any first model truck/engine, they seem to be the most likely model to have issues. All I can tell you is at 66,000 miles this truck has had zero engine issues compared to my 6.0 that was on its third set of head gaskets, second EGR cooler, second oil cooler, second EGR valve and 300th cleaning under the hood to remove all the degas bottle puking!

This motor handles the full rated load behind the truck much better than any 6.0 I have had experience with and it doesn't puke its guts out doing it. Sure if you look around you will see some people have had some pretty major problems with 6.7s, but statistically the failure rates more of an anomaly than what would be considered to be probable failures across the fleet. If you name a 6.0 ailment, everybody probably personally knows at least 3-5 people in their immediate area that have had that problem. Name a 6.7 problem and you will have to search the internet to find somebody who has experienced it. Whether or not people want to admit it, the major issue that has been experienced with this motor is related to poor fuel quality.

 

If you could have access to the info you could see how many 6.0 engines were sold and also see how many 6.7 engines have been sold to date, then, compare the operating cost with necessary repairs in there, and, that would be a seriously comical set of statistics I'm sure.

This engine is an animal. We have had 5 years of it now and the problems with the motor are solidly isolated to manufacture defects that happen in any industry. I believe the number is in the 1-5% range where a component failure is simply due to uncontrollable defects in the manufacturing process. It's not a design flaw or weakness.

 

My 2015 has been the most rock-solid and best performing diesel pickup I have ever known.
The only concerns I have is the complexities of all the electronics / controls / emissions equipment. But all the mfgrs have to deal with those - I chose to bank with Ford.

 

Had a 2011, loved it. Just bought a similar 2014. Great trucks and I haven't had any issues with either. The 2011 pulled my 40ft RV without complaint.

 

Ditto on all the above ...
as shown in my signature, have had all of them except the 6.4 and felt the need to tune them all...

this is the best of the bunch and no inclination to tune this one !

 

I've left the 6.0 for the 6.7 and it's like night and day.
Ford Motor Co. has produced over 500,000 6.7 engines as of Jan 2014

 

Thanks for the responses guys, I was able to get out from under my 04 6lit when it had 40k miles and just didn't want to deal w/that kind of stress again. The 6.7 liter is sounding pretty sweet!

 

Second 6.7L here as well. Went through the 6.0hh stuff and left Ford for a while. Liked the 2011 so much I went out got a very similar 2015 as its replacement.

 

I had a 2002 X with the 7.3 that I put almost 200K on, sold it and bought a 2012 F250 CCSB with the 6.7, it has been flawless, now I am upgrading to a 2015 F350 CCLB with the 6.7 and can't wait for it to get here, no concerns in this camp.

 

72k and 4 years next week with my 11. It's my daily driver and weekend warrior.

 

Been perusing the site for many a year, waiting for my chance to move up from my 2002 F150 to a F350, well, that final came about. I am the proud owner of a 2015 F350 6.7 CCSB Ultimate Lariat Chromed FX4. This beast is amazing! Better mileage than the F150. Although the trailer is only 7000 lbs, I find myself look for hills just to enjoy the power and engine break, instead of seeking the flattest route. Again, just an amazing truck!!!
