The 6.0 Powerstroke can actually be reliable if you bulletproof it, but the 6.4? No redeeming qualities at all.

I saw a 6.4 the other day, or at least a truck that still had the badge. No idea if it was the original engine, though. It’s either been swapped, rebuilt, or the owner just got super lucky.
People love to trash on vehicles they’ve never owned. The 6.4 isn’t the worst diesel ever, but it’s definitely on the list of problem engines.
Unpopular opinion: the 6.0 and 6.4 weren’t that bad if you kept them stock and maintained them. A lot of the issues came from mods or neglect. I still see plenty of them on the road, unlike some of the old Chevy diesels, which seem to have vanished.
