I am a first time poster and was looking for some feedback from other users. I need to purchase an F450 for pulling my 42ft toy hauler and I cant decide between a 2010 with the 6.4L powerstroke or wait until march for the 2011 scorpion 6.7powerstroke. Any opinions or experiences towing with the 6.4 would be greatly appreciated.

 

I would wait for the new engine. There is no way I would get a 6.4
I am waiting to see the new ford myself before I get another truck.

 

ya wait and you can tell us all about fords new rig

There is alot of vid's on you tube since the press release.. The latest power targets are said to be more than 390 horsepower and 720 pounds-feet of torque. Today’s Power Stroke diesel is rated at 350 hp and 650 pounds-feet. The bummer thing is when somthing new comes out thats when the good deals start on the older models...

 

well if worse come to worse you can buy the 11 truck then if you dont like it trade it back for the 6.4.

 

Saw one a couple weeks ago at the auto expo here. I like the look of the 2008-2010 better. Just my opinion. The 2011 is supposed to have more power...nothing a tuner won't fix. A good deal on a 2010 plus a tuner may be less money and put out more power/torque than the 2011. Doesn't matter what I think, get what you like.

 

i bought a 6.4 two weeks ago this friday, love it!

 

im with jared. i bought an 08 last summer and love the **** out of it!!
im very septical about the new turbo system that ford came out with. if it was me. i would get a 6.4 but tune it and delete the dpf.. just to get some good milage out of it. thats all i did

 

Why buy either? 6.4 is garbage, and we have no clue what the scorpion will do, or not do. Dont you have any other opions?

 

honestly if there is anyway u could hold out till like 12 or so wait before u buy the 6.7 scorpion if there are any problems with it give them a little bit of a chance to figure it out thats just my opinion
