Looking to buy a new truck and reading some of these horror stories on forums has me wondering if I should risk it. Is there a legitimate risk?

It's a diesel. If you don't need it and don't need future expensive problems then don't buy it. They are awesome trucks with awesome capabilities but nothing is cheap and it will break regardless of which one you get. I will have another one after this 150 but I also had a 6.0......

My pops has one. Doesn't have a whole lot of miles on it (maybe 35k), but no problems so far. It's a nice truck.

Bulletproof a 6.0, get a new turbo minus the silencer ring, new exhaust, and do the grill swap.

What problems are you hearing about? Everythign I'm aware of is the 6.7 has been a great motor and holding up well in light of the abortions of the 6.4 & 6.0. Although I had 2 6.0's and never had a problem with them. put 100k on one and 60k on the other before I downgraded. I also pulled a trailer nearly every single day.

I have a 14 with 44k miles and haven't had any problems


the used ones are so high I'd definitely recommend new with the rebates


I see trucks identical to mine selling used for the same as I paid new

Id get a new one. Buying used in that range won't save you much and they had some issues with fuel pump failures and turbo issues.
