Painted Horse Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I bought mine last summer. It now has over 12,000 miles on it. Mostly towing. 4h GN horse trailer. 20' flatbed with Mini Excavator or 14' dump trailer. So it has something hooked up almost daily. I've owned a 2000 7.3L, a 2003 6.0L a 2006 6.0L and now this 2011. It is the best truck of the 4 I have owned. We will see when we get up around a 100,000 miles how good an powertrain this really is. but so far no problems. Very quiet, plenty of power and slight better fuel mileage than any of the past trucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportscraft Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Love mine and no problems, but I only have 6800 miles and no towing yet. Fuel economy is not all its hyped up to be, at least on the 450's with city driving. Of course I didn't own an 08-10 model so don't have exact point of comparison, but I was hoping for better then my 2004 350, but get about the same.

savage250 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I think the 6.7 will be a long life engine, and frankly with the changes so maintenance is accessible without taking the cab off.....I wouldn't be as worried about owning it off of warranty. I wouldn't touch a 6.4 off warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't touch a 6.4 off warranty. Or the 6.0. $5K to replace a head gasket as the easiest way is to pull the cab. Didn't know the 6.7 was more maintenance friendly?
