The fuel mileage is about what you might expect from a powerful engine and a truck that weighs about 8000 lbs., about 11 to 14 mpg in the city and 18 to 23 mpg on the road.

Failed emissions control components, fuel system contaminants and corrosion, leaking radiators and hoses, cracked turbo up-pipes and severe oil dilution all plague the 6.4L Power Stroke—and the problems only get worse with age.
The advantage in fuel economy is marginal. According to fuelly.com, (real-world mileages) report, the 2017 F-250 with the 6.2L gas engine, averages 11.8mpg. The same report shows the 6.7L diesel engine averages 14.5 mpg. According to local fuel prices, diesel is $2.70/gallon and gas is $2.28/gallon.
The 2019 Ford F-250 has a maximum payload capacity of 4,270 lbs., and is available with either conventional or 5th wheel gooseneck towing options.

Starting with the rear-drive 2020 F-250 in XL trim with the standard engine, regular cab and 8-foot bed, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $33,705. A destination charge of $1,595 brings that to $35,300.
Unlike the 6.0L, the 6.4L's rocker arm ends don't see the same amount of lubrication. And given the fact that the engine oil can be heavily diluted with diesel fuel, what little oil the rocker does see isn't the best lubricant. The result is excessive ball pivot wear and the “tick” the 6.4L is notorious for.
One of the 6.4L's biggest problems lies in its water separator, and water contaminating the fuel system. After that, water reacts with the metal in the injection system components to form rust. Rust is behind a lot of injection pump, injector, and even some complete engine failures in '08 to '10 Super Duty trucks.
The 6.4 can't be bulletproofed.
For the
6.0L faithful, an underdog mentality combined with a willingness to work on and learn from their
engine seems to help them persevere.

- 6.4 Powerstroke Performance and Reliability starts with choosing the right tuner.
- Delete the DPF with an Exhaust Upgrade.
- Choosing the right Cold Air Intake for your 6.4 Powerstroke.
- Block off your EGR before it's too late!
- Get a Coolant filter if you care about your 6.4 Powerstroke.
No you should not buy a 6.4L PowerStroke. Especially not one with 160K on it. They rarely make it to 200K without needing major engine repairs and they are among the most expensive PowerStroke engines to work on. The 6.4L is the single worst engine Ford has ever put in their diesel trucks.
The 6.4L Power Stroke was introduced for the 2008 model year, known as the Slug. It was the first engine introduced to the light truck market that utilized dual turbochargers from the factory. This was the first Power Stroke to use a diesel particulate filter (DPF) in order to nearly eliminate particulate emissions.
