..but someone has to ask it. LOL
This fall I am planning on getting a newer truck for daily driving. I have made the responsible decision of capping at $30,000 since someday I will need to buy land as well.
That price gets me into a 6.4 <70,000 miles, Lariat or King Ranch trim.
It also gets me close or into the 6.7 >125,000 miles, XL or XLT interior.
Either will be deleted and run on a very mild tune, not into hot rodding.
One of the builders I work with has had a lot of troubles with his 6.4 around 125,000 miles, and my boss' 6.7 has been in for turbo trouble due to soot build up, 50,000 miles.
While I really do want to step into a higher trim package, it seems that the 6.7 is the go to for reliability, which is a must since I do not have much time to spend at the dealer. If either gets me another 100,000 miles I'll be happy. When ever I lose an engine a 5.9 will be going in since I've done it already...
Thoughts?
