I have both a 2005 and a 2006 Lariat with the 6.0 and am very happy with both of them. The 05 had turbo replaced under warratny at 46,000 miles. I'm still not sure why, because I never saw a problem with it. I'd sent it in for routine service and got it back with a new turbo on it.
Ford, unlike the other two major players, is not in bankruptcy. As the money dries up, I suspect the willingness of manufacturers to pay warranty claims goes with it.
One other comment: Check with your state to see what GVW requires a commercial driver's license. An F250 has a door jamb sticker which rates the truck at 10,000 pounds, which is the limit for my state. If it was an F350 (same truck, different rear sprigs and emblems) I'd need at CDL to drive it while towing a trailer.
