You don't want a 6.0 Ford unless you have a lot of money to spend on repairs. They are known for head gasket problems and turbo oiling issues. EGR delete kits are suppose to help with the head gasket problems ,but it hasn't saved them all. Also a major repair to one requires that the entire cab, fenders and front end be removed. If you don't need to pull heavy loads, I would stay away from diesels in general. Even the reliable ones cost a lot more to own than a gas motor. I wouldn't worry about longevity. The truck will be worn out before the motor in a gas truck or a diesel. I own diesels for business, and I wouldn't if I didn't need to pull and haul heavy loads. My gas trucks cost a lot less to own overall.
