Thinking of getting a diesel

So I'm thinking of getting a diesel. I'm leaning toward the 6.7 but I also like the 5.9 from cummins. I love the 5.9 but the truck itself isn't to appealing as the 2011-2016 super duties. Let me know what you guys think on which engine y'all like the most!

Had the 7.3 in my 92, 94, and 2001 F350 crewman dally. Had 500K on it when I sold it a year in half ago. Replaced it with a 2015 F350 crewcab with the 6.2. The new diesels are not bullet proof the the 7.3 was. If the 7.3 was still available I would buy it all day long. Too much emision crap on them now. Pray it doesn't break down on you. Expensive. I am happy with the 6.2 but I know I will not get 500K out of it though. Good luck with your choice.

I am hoping to get a 7.3 but they are hard to find around west texas. I do kinda want a newer truck though for the looks but I want it to be a diesel. It needs to last for at least 10 years. Hopefully i can find a good deal somewhere.
