2016 F250 King Ranch - King of Failure

I purchased a used 2016 F250 King Ranks with the 6.7 Power Stroke Diesel with 95,000 miles on it. This truck has been the saddest example of a Ford truck ever. This is my first diesel and will be my last. Constant engine codes about exhaust gas filter cleaning, poor fuel mileage, major expense at 100K to get the truck to run and stay on the road. In 12 month, I have never had a month where the diesel has not had problems with loss of performance, check engine codes and electronic failures. I have now been using a loaner truck for over a month because my extended warranty company says they will not cover the diesel fuel injectors that have failed because there is not an official recall from Ford, only a service bulletin about the problems. I need more than a half ton and the best part of the F250 King Ranch edition is the comfort of the interior,even though the touch screen display needs re-calibration because you can't put your finger on the screen and have it respond to the button you are trying to reset or change. It changes the button above where you are placing your finger. I have babied this truck, keep it in the garage every night, and make sure all filters, fluids and tire rotations are done every 5,000 miles. It is a beautiful truck no argument there. But I would rather trust my 1988 John Deere Tractor to work and run for me over this overpriced, engine failing, fuel system malfunctioning, electronics failing, shameful excuse of a super duty truck. Good luck getting Ford to fix anything with their extended warranty. Be prepared to lose your shirt when it comes to repair costs. Over $5,800 in repairs just for the injectors to be replaced. Then if the fuel system gets contaminated from replacing the fuel injectors, that will be an additional $1800 in parts and labor. $45,000 for the truck, $5,000 for a top level truck warranty, and $3600 in suspension repairs along with the expected $5,800 for new injectors. This is all in less than 13 months. I will have to sell it for scrap metal if it keeps this crap up. I have always been a Ford man. But this truck has soured me on Ford. Quality used to mean something. Now there is no quality whatsoever in this truck. The best thing that could happen to this truck is to sell it as soon as they get the check engine light to go out and stay off. Even the service advisor said he couldn't believe that the service engine light had that much life in it. That bulb seems to be the only thing that will light up on the truck. My advise to anyone considering buying a used 2016 Ford Super Duty with the Power Stroke 6.7 diesel is make sure you have plenty of cash in your wallet or a credit card with a high limit because you will need it to keep the truck on the road. ALSO, this posting site doesn't show the correct engine option. So it says a 6.2L 8 Cylinder, but it is really a Power Stroke 6.7 diesel 8 cylinder.
