2012 or 2013?
Hey fellas,
I currently own an 05' 6.0 and am looking to upgrade this summer. I'll be looking at either a 2012 or a 2013 6.7
, anything I should look for in them or anything I should avoid while looking? Is one year better than the other mechanically. I'm starting to do some research now and saw a lot about the 2011's and 2015 updates but not finding much between the 12-13's other than the interior update in the 13. What would you guys recommend?

Early 12's had a turbo issue not sure when they corrected it but if before the update make sure it was replaced. Both had the radiator issue that usually let go around 40-50,000. Those are the big ones. Depending on how the previous owner treated it you should not run into emission issues till you reach 150,000-200,000.

Go with a 2013.
If you can wait a few more weeks I know that there are 2015 trucks being sold. Thousands of people are wanting the new 2017 models and I really think a 2015 would be available to you with some decent miles. Mine is 2 1/2 years old now with 145,000 on it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm leaning towards the 2013 but just wanted to make sure. I also saw the 13 got the HD alternator standard.

The '13 has larger brakes, a little higher tow capacity and My Ford Touch with the Nav system over the 2012 models.
