I'm sure these thoughts last long until your DEF heater goes out, Ford claims "contaminated" DEF, and you are staring at the repair bill. Maybe you get a crappy DPF system that keeps throwing codes.
If it causes the truck to stop working, then you should be able to fix it. Hence I love the "right to repair" mindset with diesel trucks.
With all that....Tesla (and any other EV maker) has shown what the future holds. I'm betting by 2030 light duty "consumer" diesel trucks (F250/F350/F450) are LONG gone from Ford's lineup. They will all be EV, doing things we can only dream of.
