2011 6.7

Why am i being told to stay away from the 2011 by so many? Im assuming like all Fords diesels, its the first year of the motor and they had kinks to work out? Im trading up to a 6.7 to a 6.0 soon. just wondering. Thanks

Do some searching and you can make your own decision as the topic has been beaten to death over the years.

I don't recall you getting that advice here at FTE. I would think that most '11 owners would highly recommend one.

As the owner of a 6.0, 6.4 and now three 6.7s, I can tell you that I had more problems in one week with the 6.4 than I have had with my three 6.7s in four years. I would give the 6.0 a two week ratio....

Agree with Sgt93 though, do a little research and you will get an idea if the '11 6.7 is the way to go because you will hear the pros and cons.

But for the record, mine was awesome.

The only major issue with my 2011 was transmission problems and Ford eventually figured out most of those issues.
I still have some but at least it's drivable. The engine has been issue free. May 2010 build.

No issues since April 2010

I have had my 6.7 King Ranch for four years and I haven't had any problems. I plan to keep it for many more years.

Have had 3 - 2011 F350's. The current one I have was built end of 2010, bought Jan 15th, 2011. Have 27k miles. Minor issues as well. MUCH MUCH better than my 2 - 6.Ohhs were. These actually stayed in my driveway and not the service bay.

I've had my 2011 King Ranch since Dec 2010 with only one warranty problem and it wasn't engine related.

Stop hanging around with Chevy guys.

30K miles here, half under a heavy load, and never an issue.
