Close to 300k, no major issues, just ball joints and a tranny rebuild. Still running strong and pulling hard. Bought a 2011 King Ranch with the 6.7. I like it but I already miss the sounds and the smells.

I haven't posted in a good while but always check in and read the 7.3 forum. I intend to continue! I will let y'all know how it goes with the new rig. Sold the 7.3 for a decent price before major stuff started happening.

 

Glad to hear you got out of her, more than you put in. good luck with the 6.7. I hear they are nice.

 

Those 6.7 are beasts, hopefully yours dont have the plastic oil pan, they tend to crack. It happens, you let go of something you thought you didnt want no more and then remorse comes in ,and the "WHAT DID I DO" NOOOOOO!

 

Dad's got a 2014 6.7 dually with 50k on it, no issues in sight. It puts a stock (or mildly modded) 7.3 to shame. If i had 50k to spend on a truck, that'd be it.
Congrats

 

Bob - Good luck with the new truck. Def keep us posted. I have been looking a little lately too. Still only 115 k on mine, but those new ones sure are nice.

 

Something tells me you're going to miss your truck as much as I miss mine.... come back in a month and tell us how you feel about it. That 6.7 is awesome

 

its not the 6.7 or 6.4 or any thing, but I too upgraded from my 95 F150 to the F250 I have now and while it was a huge improvement I do at times miss the F150 with 4x4 but meh...so I know the feelings....you will at least have the "gee I miss my previous truck"feelings at times...

 

John2011 after towing my 5th wheel, car hauler and several hundred miles of regular driving I can report. I'm not gonna miss her, I will always remember that loyal reliable truck but not gonna miss it. Yeah the 6.7 is awesome. What a difference.

 

They are a great truck..
Could you still get warranty on a 2011 ?

For those who buy new how long can a powertrain warranty last ?

Kyle

 

Yep, I called that one

 

A couple years ago I rode with Scott (senix) at the meet in Ohio, and I know those 6.7's are awesome. No way could a 7.3 compete with them in any manor! The whole truck is just awesome! Engine, transmission, the cab, everything! The power, the way they control the load going down a hill, nothing offered for a 7.3, either factory or aftermarket, can compete.

 

this is true. new things usually are nice.

it will be interesting to hear the stories when issues start to come up. will people be able to resolve them, or will the 6.7 absolutely have to be taken to the stealership.

 

This is what I am holding out for, have to admit, the past 5 years have been looking good for this platform, very minimal issues, especially when compared to its two predecessors!

 

Just talked to a Ford diesel tech who is a friend of mine and he said the 2017's are going to break 1000 lbs of torque in stock form. This might be old news but its the first I've heard of it. That is impressive.

 

Same here

All the buddies that have them only keep them 2-3 years and then trade in. Haven't had any first hand reports about reliability.

They are nice trucks.
