Not sold. Especially the flop of the 6.4, and 6.0 w/o bullet proofing. The early powerstroke 6.7 issues.
I wouldn't buy to be a beta tester.... Many proven engines from the big 3.

Ford more than made up for the 6.0 when they made there own engine, the 6.7. I had 265k on my 2012 (2nd year for the 6.7) when it met an unmovable object last winter.
The only thing that got replaced on the engine or trans was exhaust gaskets out of the turbo under warranty. Still had original fan belt. It's a hell of an engine. The early 2 stage turbos had problems only if you ran a high HP programmer. I never did because it was more than enough power stock. The new 3.0L powerstroke engine has been in use for a while. Its new to the f150 but has been changed for truck duty. I wouldn't bad talk a particular engine or model, there are so many configurations made to fit peoples towing needs. Just figure out what you want/need your truck to do, then do the research to find the best combo for your needs. If you need light to medium towing occasionally, and use the truck for daily driving I think the new 3.0l powerstroke would work because it can hit 30mpg. ECO boost has more towing capacity.
