This truck excels in cold weather and summer. I've had great fuel economy in the summer (21MPG US) unless I'm towing my big 5th wheel (15MPG US) which is also about what I get during cold Alberta winters. Best truck I've ever owned and I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off.

GVWR is 13,639 lbs. After towing two seasons my mechanic noticed the side walls of my rear tires showed signs of stress. Not only did he recommend getting new tires (if I continued towing), but suggested installing a Firestone Air Bag kit with on board compressor. I did that. I am running Michelin Defender XLT's and have seen I bought the truck. Great tires and I feel that has helped with the fuel mileage.

@@six0bros my 6.7 has served me almost flawlessly. However, I listen to this and the valves causing a replacement engine do concern me. My Turbo does talk to me a little when it’s cold. The ceramic bearings are also highlighted here. Know that I give my truck everything it needs when it needs it.

[@six0bros]

So the 2011 model year that had valve issues would have almost definitely happened by your mileage. I believe most of the 2011s rlthat had the issue were built on the earlier side of 2010. If your turbo does go out it has long outlived the normal life of any vgt turbo. You could replace it when the time comes and you'll have the upgraded bearings or you could upgrade to the 2015 style but that is a greater expense. You clearly take good care of that truck because at that mileage normally people have had a few issues. Has it needed anything outside the normal?

Any records you can get to verify maintenance or recalls performed. See if ford will run the Vin. Check for any error codes. Take it on the highway I would do a pull or 2 with it just give it some good throttle. With a scan tool check fuel psi. Oil leaks can be expensive or a sign of the ccv filter needing replaced.

the 2009 6.4 powerstroke is a very strong engine however there are some issues with them that they are not the most reliable. they have an above average rate of cracking piston. they have slightly less rate of blowing head gaskets over the 6.0 powerstroke, oil cooler is the same as a 6.0. overall they are ok trucks, but they do scare me a little bit. I would like to one day do a build on a 6.4 powerstroke but I would be looking at upgrading the pistons to fix the in my opinion worst issue they have.

[@Eastern_SA]

@@six0bros Thanks for the heads up. How about 2012 & 2013 F550. Just discovered the 2009 is F350 rather than F550. So, I’m steering away from 350.

I would go for the 2013. Had better bearings in the turbo updated glowplugs. 2013 in my opinion was the first year they really had it together. The 12s are not bad either but the 13 is slightly better

[@six0bros]

how has the truck been? sorry for being so late to respond. the biggest thing is really keeping on top of oil changes and fuel filter changes. I would keep an eye on your temps (exhaust, oil, coolant, trans) I would monitor boost, exhaust back pressure, and fuel psi and have an idea of where they sit so if something is off it will help you be able to tell maybe if you have a boost leak or if your fuel psi is lower than normal maybe a sign of an issue

I intend to upgrade trucks this year. I’ve had Super Duty trucks for 14 years. I’d like to get a lariat crew long bed 6.7 truck, but I’m really worried about fuel system problems and turbo issues. I’m also concerned about the complexity of the design overall. The complex cooling systems worries me as a failure point down the road. As much as I’d like stick with a Super Duty, for me I think that I’ll end up with a 6.7 Cummins powered Ram.

[@six0bros]

do not go with a cummins lol. Both are excellent options. there are not really issues with the cooling system. Now the fuel system I can understand however the powerstroke does not have the same failure rate as the duramax does because they have a factory lift pump. There are also kits to help minimize any potential issues. at the end of the day both trucks are great.

The 6.4 international couldn't have messed up more if they tried lol. I think the 6.7 cummins is an excellent overall engine. I just think sometimes people put it in the same class as their larger engines and people sometimes ignore other things with the trucks as a whole. I will say I like that they got away from the cp4 pump quickly and so did gm. Ford for a couple different reasons is hanging on but at least the after market has finally fixed that. I'm off topic now haha, but I don't feel the current dodge truck with a cummins is as good a truck as the Chevy and ford's. Just to be clear though all 3 truck brands are absolute monsters.

(RAM has gone back to the CP3) The CP4's have a mechanical design flaw and they will fail (not if but when) and spread metal throughout the fuel system. S&S Fueled has an excellent video (on KZbin) on this flaw that will explain in detail. This alone should be deal killer. Too bad that Ford has no problem letting owners be the beta testers. 6.0 failures, 6.4 total garbage, and 2011 -2012, 6.7 engine failures, bad turbo bearings, etc. This along with the continued use of the CP4. Look at the latest recalls on 2021 version of this truck, 10 speed transmission bearing failures, and rear axle tubes collapsing. What's next? No Way, not my money.

Well done gm for the switch. That said I still loved my 6.7 and I I that there needs to be disaster prevention kits but they do reduce issues when one fails. That said I'm sure ford will change when they switch to a different engine block with a redesign at some point. Also any new engine is pretty much beta testing. 9ver the 6.7 is a pretty darn solid truck. Just like I feel the lol and l5p are also solid trucks. I'm not hating on either one and I agree the cp4 pump is not great and I wish the cp4 pump would be fixed in design so there was an option to replace the bad ones.

[@TexasAristocrat]

I just bought a highly maintained 2011 should I be concerned?

[@six0bros]

Most likely you are good. There are a lot of guys with high mileage 11s that haven't had issues at all. They were the more problematic year but at the same time most that would have had issues probably did by now. That said it could still happen but I would think the bigger stuff would have happened now

[@ghostJC1126]

A dealer here in Texas has a 2017 f350 with 307k they are asking 25k. What should I offer them realistically?

[@humpahamster]

If it’s a base model 12k- 15, king ranch 17k- 21, platinum 23k-25

[@ghostJC1126]

@ it was an XLT. I think it sold for 21k. They were asking way too much.

[@ignaciocastillo1425]

Looking to buy a 6.7 pretty soon and I’m stuck between a 13 with 109,000 and a 15 with 130,000. My buddy has a dealership and those are the two 6.7 he has. What would be the benefits of going with the 15?

[@six0bros]

So the main upgrades for 15s were better injectors, higher flowing cp4( no change in reliability) cylinder head redesign, glow plugs I believe we're upgraded for the 13 model year, probably the biggest upgrade from 13 was the gt37 turbo is far more reliable on the 15

[@six0bros]

That said the cp4 and the turbo can both be retro fit onto the older engine so depends on if you want or need it. Cp4 is direct bolt up turbo is a little more involved

[@ignaciocastillo1425]

@@six0bros thanks man. I’ll keep that in mind!

[@six0bros]

No problem any more questions let me know

[@Moco925]

What would you consider high mileage for a 15? I'm looking at one with 230,000 and they're asking 28,000 I'm definitely not trying to pay that much for a truck with that many miles even tho I do know diesels last longer still it scares me spending that much on a high mileage truck

[@richardstorie229]

I have a 2015 F250 Lariat with 287,245 miles. Have had no problems. Oil changes on time, fuel filters every third oil change. And buy fuel at high volume stations.

[@six0bros]

All great ideas to keep these trucks running right

[@scuddrunner1]

You are spot on!!! I subscribed, you know what you're talking about. I too have a 2015 F350. I have the Lariet Longbed Supercab 11,300, very hard to find. I'm a contractor I use it for work. I live in Tacoma WA and bought mine in Tampa FL last March with 17,000 on the clock and drove it back. I love it! I get 26mpg if I keep my foot out of it. :-)

[@six0bros]

Thanks man for the support. 26 mpg I'd insane

[@johnroscoe1773]

@@six0bros true. I have a 2016 KR CC LB and see 27mph at 72 mph on flat ground and no wind. Towing 12k lb i get 16-18 mpg at 60 mph. All stock except for a K&N filter. Crazy thing is, and yes i have a video, at 50 mph i have seen 31+ mpg with brand new tires and perfect conditions.

[@joshuademarco5116]

Have you had any problems with the 2015 6.7? I'm looking into buying one

[@six0bros]

Only issues I have had were mostly related to just hard use of the truck which I am fixing still. I did have have a ccv filter that needs replaced with an updated part or you can do a batch can reroute. And the vacuum pump was leaking oil like crazy the seal was bad and they are known for the bolts being loose. Both are easy to do and had I not had a fractured finger I would have done the vacuum seal myself. I'll have a video up on the ccv filter at some point

[@scuddrunner1]

@@joshuademarco5116 The 2015-16 is the preferred year to purchase for that body style. It's been flawless so far. I did have a 2011 F250 6.2 gas. I like the 6.7 way better! Tons of power and way better mileage.

Nice man.

[@davisexcavating7144]

Great info man! All our trucks are 11-16 6.7 (6 trucks total) plus a couple 11-14 gasers....and I feel like you based your info off my exact issues with those years 😂 spot on man! The two 11 f550 dumps both had the typical first year issues you discussed but they are super reliable regardless and still in our fleet! Love my personal 2015 lariat though def has the exterior of a demolition derby truck lol ( hey excavating business and all) I agree 15-16 all the way. Just picked up a 2016 f350 lariat dually Ford cert. 11k miles one owner today! I’m just not a believer in aluminum trucks yet and a little ocd with my equipment and trucks...I like all the same body styles and colors. 6.7 has been great to us other than few issues...I did want to mention tho...you didn’t say anything about the intercooler hoses blowing off...all but one of our trucks constantly had the hot side blowing off, as well as cold side few times. All have been easily upgraded to the H&S kits....here in WV it’s common at least lol maybe my trucks bad friends are anomalies!? Great video brother love my 11-16 steel bodies and will rock them as long as we can!

[@six0bros]

Thank man! Like you said even the "bad" years are still amazing trucks. As for the intercooler pipe I actually just upgraded mine to a metal one the other day and did an install video. I think it is a must for most people. In my opinion. That is one of the few upgrades on the truck so far. For the most part it has just been replacing worn out parts from the previous owner

[@robert5]

I think they went to aluminum due to rust issues in northern states. Geeze all people need do is spray some rust preventive such as Fluid Film underneath every year and they are good. I simply can not fathom people paying 50+k for a truck and ignoring simple ways to keep rust away. I am in MI and most local trucks have rust. I moved here from wa state 2 yrs ago. I am in the market for a used 2014 or 2015 and i wont by a rusty truck. I will get one from Ohio or farther south or maybe go back out to wa state buy a rust free truck and drive it back. Then simply spray Fluid Film up underneath and it will still be rust free in 20 yrs. I wont be driving it much in winter though it will be incidental use only for towing and hauling and not my daily driver.

[@six0bros]

I don't think it was rust. Sure that is a positive of it, but I don't think that was it. I do agree just take care of these they nornally are good then

[@garyeckler2425]

I owned a 2015 F350 diesel SRW until recently. The only issue I had was to replace the windshield wiper motor under warranty. Absolutely no issues with the 6.7. I hope I haven't made a mistake by trading it in on my new F350 2023 7.3 Godzilla gas.

[@robertmurphy386]

6.4 was Fords first break from International and it was a total fail..... I had an 06 F-250 6.0 that I fully Bullet proofed. I now have a 2015 F-350 6.7

[@six0bros]

The 6.4 was still a international engine. In fact it is literally the same block as a 6.0

[@hunterbidenscrackdealer3753]

6.4’s were amazing deleted. So much power

[@six0bros]

Especially for their time that was what really was impressive

[@Joblessparadise]

So these 6.7s don't have near the issues as the dmaxs with their cp4 catastrophe?

[@six0bros]

Correct. Do not get me wrong they still fail. Just since Ford has a factory lift pump to them it isn't nearly as frequent.
