Indecisive buyer lol
Hello! Im looking at buying a 2014 f250 king ranch or a 2017 f250 lariat today and im extremely torn lol. They both are equipped with the 6.7. I’ve read that the older models I need to stay away from due to the fact it’s the first gen of the 6.7. The 2017 is the first year of a new generation and I know typical you shouldn’t buy first gen since they haven’t worked out the “kinks.” Anyone having problems with their 2017 or 2014? Also, they both are sitting at 75k miles

either is fine, what truck is in the best shape, lower miles and service records?
Which one has all the emissions in tact and what are the hours on the motors?
Any pictures of either truck?

There might be certain issues that came up in certain years, but generally speaking there is no reason to avoid the first gen of the 6.7l. Likewise, I'm not aware of any reasons to avoid the first year (2017) of the alumiduty.

I would see if the CCV was updated yet and if there is any major upper oilpan leak on the 17. Possibly same issues could persist on the 11-16 too?
As far as ruggedness goes I feel the 17-19 are about as good as it gets. I wouldn’t worry about anything besides what I mentioned above and quite frankly a pan leak repair is around $1,500 or so and not the end of the world.
The CCV is pretty inexpensive to update if not done yet.
Having had both Gens I think the 17 is well worth the upgrade.
