From the couple guys I have talked to it’s the closest thing to a diesel there is without the extra diesel expense. With big 5th on inclines it won’t keep up with a diesel but there is enough there to still accelerate up hill. But it has to shift down more and work a little harder but that’s where the high torque of diesel comes in.

I had a Kubota SVL65 on the short trailer behind a 2014 gas Chevy and look hard at what is making hay on I-10 up those hills, very interested in a 7.3

Getting 14 empty most of the time, but saw close to 16 on a 180mile round trip at 65 mph down to Galveston this past weekend. Hauled 2250 lbs in the bed before heading to Galveston from Houston to Benavides and got around 12. My TT is a little over 6k lbs, going 65mph I get 9-9.5.
Procharger and whipple are coming out with super chargers for those that need more! Some guys have done a few mods and gotten close to 600hp at the crank.

I still wish GM made the SS, I probably would have bought it over my Hellcat. Oh well.

My neighbor has drove diesels for the last 15 years. He recently got a new f350 drw with 7.3
He tows frequently during the week hauling mini excavator. His biggest load is his 43’ toy hauler at 16,000 lb. he says it tows best in 7th gear which is about 3000 rpm and he’s running about 70 mph.
Truck is sitting on 35’s and has 4.30 gears. So far he likes it. He just got out of a 2019 Cummins.

I have a 2020 with the 6.7 diesel and it has 475hp and 1050 torque. I drove the the gasser as well as I have always had diesels but was curious. I have an F350 SRW and drove a F250 with the gasser. There is absolutely no comparison in the engines. The diesel smokes it all day and I am getting 18mpg to work and back. Have not taken a road trip yet but I am sure I will be happy with it.
but get what makes you happy!!

WI...there is always the CTS-V
Mission, the jeep & durango awd's are the new owners of the big 3 stop light braggin rights for now which is insane...once the electric / hybrids combine the lighter sport cars having all 4 tires bite, we will see crazy off the line speeds. I hate it, but is what it is & gonna enjoy the big displacement US muscle exhaust for now.

I have a King Ranch Tremor in 7.3 on order, should be here in a few weeks. Got a steal of a deal too.
