We didn't have any problems with 6.0s either, but between the two I'd go for the 6.4 model as your getting a nicer interior and nicer driving truck.

Or pony up the cash for a 6.7 truck... what a gem of an engine, and damn these new trucks are comfy lol.

yeah I would agree the 08 interior although lacking maybe but is night and day from the 07. Ford keeps their interiors way to long. The 07 I had, had the same steering wheel and gear shifter that buddies dad had in a 95 bronco

That's because the DPF filter was doing its job, that's what it is supposed to stop!!! Not only that the egr is recycling the exhaust before it ever gets to the dpf...

well I know I was commenting on how people said they had a bunch of smoke with these engines.

heres the deal it seems every engine has this mythical Maintenence albatross on it. Everybody has a guy that heard of a guy. 6.4 is better than the 6.0 yeah it has a dpf, plus 08 and above your actually riding in a 200o's interior and and not a 1995 interior. But the 6.0 isnt bad either I had one with no issues.

At 37 I think thats a bit high for a four rear old truck.. 35 out the door I might be a buyer.
