I can chime in. Excellent truck, H&S makes a "eco" programmer (its actually several tunes) for the trucks that gives them nearly 20mpg. Delete DPF and EGR cooler. Be mindful that the engine does consume oil (it's normal) and may be several quarts down between changes. Also a big thing to keep an eye on your oil because if an injector leaks it can fill up the crankcase in a few days. Transmission is solid, the truck itself is good minus the shocks...Just don't start messing with turbos and injectors...the engine is PLENTY for a non cdl driver.
That said they are 4-5K LESS than a same year cummins for a reason. The 07.5 to 10 cummins trucks are probably the best yet. 68rfe transmission, 350hp, the best mileage by a long shot, did I mention best mileage? Cheapest to replace parts on too...ever gone to a ford dealer for something? I felt violated leaving the parts counter. Think of it like this, the 6.4 can be tuned to nearly 500whp sure, but it wont last. The dodge can be tuned to about 430whp and it WILL last. You don't see million mile powerstrokes much...but theres more than a few million mile cummins out there. And durahax? forget that one.
