2011 Ford F250 Problems
I just looked at a 2011 F250 4x4 with a 6.2L. It has about 55K miles on it and is a former company truck. Overall it looks decent. What are the common trouble spots for these trucks? Are how are they for long term reliability?

6.2 has been a good motor so far. No real issues that I am aware of.
The 6 speed tranny (2011 first year) has been good. Some of the early 11/12 models had some programming issues and shift solenoid revisions. Some harsh shifting. Inquire if it has been updated or any shifting issues.
Drive it for a bit and get it nice and warm. If it shifts smooth then you should be good to go.
Rest of the truck is fine.

Thanks for the advice. The transmission felt fine on the drive, but I will have to check into the history.
The 6.7 has a ton of power (my buddy has a new one), but they are out of my price range. And the number of miles this truck will see will not justify the extra cost/MPGs.
If anyone else knows any trouble areas, please let me know. Thanks.
