Well, either one is running out of warranty quickly. I think I would get the 08, and an ext. warranty. (FORD ESP warranty, heard they are the best ones to get.)

Does the 07 have power windows & locks at least?
Are they both in the same condition?

It may or may not matter to you, but the 6.0 does not have the DPF while the 6.4 does and hence gets lower mileage... All other things being equal, pick the truck you like best.

the 07 6.0 is pretty solid, but as is the 6.4 with the exception of some radiators for the most part (this is a generalization)

The 6.4 is capable of better power and mpg IF you delete some emissions stuff and maybe a tune, stock the 6.0 will beat it in mpg, and for the record im a big fan of the 05-07 look and the 200k mile warranty that gets voided when you do what the 6.4 needs to get better mpg than the 6.0.

Im about to be in the market for exactly the 3 you're trying to decide between for me to work out of and im yet to decide which is the best choice, but i know i want the 200k mile warranty
