I am curious. How many guys will trade their 6 liter PSD on a 2007 6.4 liter Diesel, as soon as they can, and why?

How many people would trade their 7.3 liter PSDs in on a 2007, 6.4 liter Diesel, as soon as they can, and why?

Or will potential 2007 6.4 Diesel customers, wait awhile to see how the new 6.4 Diesel, pans out, before considering purchase?

 

A minor point but, most current rumors indicate that the 6.4 will be designated as an '08 MY but, released in early '07.

Personally, I would likely wait at least a few months to see how they kick off. If nothing significant came up and I had the opportunity / need...I would be fine with it. But, then again, I have a totally excellent 6.0.

 

As a person who traded their 7.3 power stroke for one of the early 6.0 liters and the problems ford had with this first year (and continue to have), I would forgo the first year myself. I think the 6.0 liter could have stood for some maturity before it was released.

Well my lease is up in Jan 08, so I guess I'll be getting a 6.4 right away.

 

As soon as they hit our shores, if everything goes to plan (that is, I am still living in Aus)... I will be purchasing one.

I don't currently own a SD. Did own a 2003 7.3l up until about 4 months ago though.

 

As someone else who traded their 7.3 on one of the first 6.0s, I will give them atleast a year, b/c mine wasn't worth anything.

 

I will never ever buy a fist model year diesel again! (...runs away screaming...)

 

I will take door #3

 

not I!!!!!!

 

I now have had two first year redesigns. A 1995 F250 Powerstroke and a 1999 7.3L F250. I have had little, if any problems other than temporary wear and tear issues with these trucks. Being that I still own the '99 and currently am pushing upwards on the mileage, I will be purchasing an '07 ('08) as soon as they hit. Let me say, I have not been personally subject to the terrors of the 6.0L, but I am excited to try out the 6.4L TT for all the skeptics .

 

In all fairness, with the price of the diesel option in '07 pickups with the new emission equipment, and the price of low sulpher diesel, I don't see myself buying a diesel pickup for the foreseeable future. But, even if that were not the case, I wouldn't but the 6.4L twin turbo Powerstroke until it has been on the market at least 3 years.

 

Ford may have learned their lesson with the 6.0. But these new emmisions requirements may have tipped their hand.

BTW, has any body noticed the illogic of putting more #@%^& on your truck to reduce emmisions and reducing the milage. It seems to me that leaving the #@%^& off would increase the efficiency of the vehicle and total effect being less emmisions. THe EPA must be a run by idiots. But maybe its just GW Bush.

 

wow. as much as i want to slam you on the political statement i will refrain from doing so. mainly because i would like to keep my membership here.

 

bsnewell...I may agree with... "BTW, has any body noticed the illogic of putting more #@%^& on your truck to reduce emmisions and reducing the milage. It seems to me that leaving the #@%^& off would increase the efficiency of the vehicle and total effect being less emmisions."

...The political part is not good.

Thanks
