If the 2020 Ford 7.3 gas engine proves its worth, I could conceivably be tempted to look at that if I need a new truck. Until then, I'll happily drive my 2011 with a 6.7 diesel that, to date, has never had a driveline problem at 118,310 miles. It does throw a P0401 EGR cooler code but can be cleared with my Scan Gauge for up to several weeks until it lights up again. Supposedly that code/possible cooler problem hurts fuel mileage but we just did a 225 mile trip through the Adirondacks at 19.5 mpg with a fairly heavy bed load though no 5er.
Heck, my little 1985 3 cylinder, 17 drawbar horsepower ISEKI diesel tractor at about 2000 hours runs great and for sure has outlasted most gas counterparts and has burned less fuel
