About the things relating to fuel use: if someone's buying a 7000 lb + super duty, ordering the biggest gasser possible ... and then crying about fuel economy? They need their head checked because this thing is going to use more fuel than the priuses these kinds drive.

That’s the way I see it, I have a 4 cyl to commute to work. But going from 6.2 to 7.3 the 7.3 is more efficient and has more power so it’s really a no brainer if you are in the market for a gas motor. Thanks for watching !

No issues with anything other than the cruise control in tow mode is horrible. Great truck for pulling, only got 9.5 towing the same trailer with a 2017 250 6.7. I'm at 11k miles 90 percent of which has been towing the rv. I special ordered mine with the max gvwr springs and 48 gallon tank. It's a beast.

Ive been happy with this truck so far, also glad to hear you havent had any emission related issues. They can be hit and miss. I feel this truck is a happy medium between a 150 and a powerstroke, as it can handle the heavy towing occasionally but can do what a 150 would struggle with on a daily basis with no problem!

Loving the 7.3 also! We have the 4.3 rear end. 6k miles on it so far. Half mileage towing our 7500lb toy hauler and highway driving. For a gas motor, this thing is insane. 9mpg avg towing the past 2k miles. Very hard mileage, be it. If you want to cover ground easily, it's happy spot is 2.5k -3k RPM in 8th gear (less gear hunting) at about 75mph. Previous tow vehicle was a 5.7 Tundra. It didn't have a happy spot when towing. Actually, it's happy spot was just sitting there looking good or going mud`in. Thanks for the video.

Nice review. This is pretty much the truck I'm looking at. One thing, if you are getting flashed with your headlights, have the dealer adjust them down a little. People flash you if they can't see. If you normally drive it when towing, that will cause the lights to shine even higher and make thing brighter for people coming at you.

Thank you for the fantastic update on your new truck. By the way, you are the second youtuber that I know of, who had also complained about Fords 10 speed transmission. They also talked about the exact same problems that you had just described. Their dealer also said the same thing and ended up replacing it with a new transition. It would seem Ford still has to work out some of the gremlins inherent in their new products. At least Ford is making good backing up their truck quality it would seem, based on what I heard. Thanks again for the info. for sure.

Great review. I’m glad I watch this video because it confirms why going with a F350 with the 4.30 rear end was the best choice. I think I lose maybe one mpg but like you said off the line it’s not a problem for me in fact just like you I’ve towed 18,000 pounds and had no problems whatsoever. Why anyone would go with a diesel with not only the entry cost of $11,000 But the long-term maintenance costs are outrageous. I had a previous 1 ton truck that had a $9000 repair and it only had 172,000 miles on it. I then had another repair right around 200,000 miles that was $6400. It’s just unbelievable how expensive diesels are.

But getting 18mpg (no trailer, 600 lb of equipment) on flat roads, 9mpg (7500 lb bumper pull) though the Rockies and 110 degree desert roads on average with our 7.3 / 4.30 ratio. It's amazing since I'm coming from 5.7 liter Tundra and would get 13.8mpg (no trailer, same equipment), 4mpg (same trailer), but would be killing the Toyota at the same time.

Nice! Shopped last fall, set on a 7.3 Superduty, wanted a extended cab 2 door short bed. Good luck finding one of those.. ended up getting a deal on a 2020 Lariat F150 FX4 5.0 4 door demo with 2,400 miles, knocked 15k off 60k. Bumper pulls my 18’ 10,000# trailer with the L2501HST just fine. My next truck (probably 3-4 years from now) should be my “retirement” truck. Definitely going to order exactly what I want: Navy F350 Lariat super cab, short bed, 7.3 low gears, rear locker, add front leveling kit, 35’s, fabricated bumpers, possibly a 12,000 winch & Diamondback cover. Maybe in the Tremor trim….

As i was reading this all i was thinking was just order a tremor! They come very well equipped from the factory. The 150 is a good suit for moving the 2501 at a very attractive price. I dont think any dealers can budge on price now that the supply is in the hole! We bought this one before it was a huge crisis and were able to get a few thousand off at least, but i am really happy with what we got. I wish i was 3-4 years from retirement!

The white and black trim package is what it made it stand out to me. I am personally unbiased towards truck brands theres pros and cons to all of them of all years, but owning 5 Fords and one Chevy ive really got no complaints with ford other than the head gasket in our 06 6.0 diesel going out at just 100k but thats typical for those. When it comes to towing i think how the truck handles the weight is more important than power, your international would be a good example of that. If i were to go any bigger of a truck id probably go for an older semi truck single axle would be awesome.

I had an 2002 F250 Super Duty (3.78 rear? something like that) with the 5.4l with Ceramic coated Headers & aftermarket exhaust, the headers really helped out with the heat under the hood. I towed around 8K to 10K regularly. I might see 8 to 10 MPG, Then I had 2007 Quigley E350 Van 4x4, 411 rear, with the 6.0L Diesel. Towed the same weight. Maybe get 12 mpg. These are work trucks, too many people today are buying these truck 150, 250 350, for all the wrong reasons. Expect some kind of reasonable MPG. The battery tec. is at least 3 to 5 years away, when you can expect reasonable amount range in trucks that are this heavy, dry.

Excellent review. I’m looking into this same truck. I pull a 7K lb camper currently with a 2019 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3 lifted on 35’s and 3.23 gears. It’s less than ideal and due to the trailer tongue weight I’m a little over my gvwr on the truck when we’re all loaded up with my family of 4. The truck handles it fine but it’s very lackluster on the highway. I’m wanting to upgrade to a 5th wheel toy hauler at some point so I think this truck would fit the bill nicely.

There’s definitely pros and cons to each. Way I saw it was that for the cost difference to a diesel I could buy a lot of gas. The gas motor suits all my towing needs pulls my 9 ton trailer without issue. I think if I were to need something heavier i would probably go to a pre emission tractor truck. The 6.7 does put out a ton of power.

NIce truck - I just traded a 2020 F250 Godzilla V8 - XLT, FX4, etc., etc. - one year 47,000 miles (NOT hotshot). Averaged about 13 to 15mpg most the the time - I own a couple of businesses that require me to drive about 800 to 1000 miles a week to visit customers, go see the stores and visit with employees, etc. I really enjoyed the F250, never let me down - can haul anything really. Traded for a 2021 F150 Powerboost - mainly for the mileage (between 22 and 24mpg) and it will haul almost 2000 pounds without much fanfare. The F150 saves me about $120 to $150/WEEK on gas ... the main driver in CA where it will likely not go back down anytime soon!

@@HillsideAcres I usually have 500 to 2000 pounds on board, so has to be a larger truck. The PowerBoost is really a great truck, great mileage too. 2000 pounds kind of brings the rear end down a bit, but a good compromise over 13mpg F250. But the godzilla engine is the BEST one I have ever had in a truck!

Nice truck. I’m still waiting on my 2022 f350 with the 7.3 and I got it with 4.30 gears. I have a Bwise dump. I put about 4 ton in it and empty it weighs 5,700. So I’ll be towing like 14,500 bumper pull. I think the truck is rated for 15,200. It’s my weekend truck doing side jobs.

I think with the 4.30 you are rated for 18k but dont quote me on that. That truck will do it no problem. Its not like you're going to be hauling that material across the country.

I was torn between this and the diesel but for me it does everything i need and when I'm not towing the fuel consumption isn't too bad... That 10 speed helps a bunch.

One thing I have a hard time with is,, how easy people accept and live with the idea that, is ok for a new truck to pop a transmission before the first year ends. Not only that but also ready to buy another one when this goes. Please don't get it the wrong way, I respect your choice and is your money but I really hope that is going to last you for as long you plan to keep it. Replacing a trans on that tank should cost you a good chunk if needed and you are out of warranty

I really like the white with the Sport package. I have a 2020 F250 with the 7.3, 3:55 gears. Mine is a "Silver Spruce" color, I don't know if it was available in the US. Initially I wanted a 6.2 with the 6 speed, since my father has had 4 of them and they have always been rock solid. But no dealers had any stock, so my local dealer had this truck with the 7.3 and 10 speed that I ended up getting. I wanted the 7.3, but not first year production, and I really didn't hear good things about the 10 speed. Ultimately I had no options and needed a truck so that's what I got. This was September 2020, so it's been almost a year for me as well and so far it's been amazing. Once in a while the transmission will shift weird, like slipping in 5th when pulling onto the highway. But I think the worse problem with that 10 speed is the programming, I feel like there's a ton of room for improvement there. Alot of times it acts like a 6 speed, instead of 10. It will drop 2 gears instead of 1, so why have that extra gear in between? I think down the line I will get a tuner for it, since in the past with other vehicles, they can make a world of difference in how a vehicle performs. My 7.3 gets better fuel economy than my father's 2019 6.2, and the power difference is night and day. The 7.3 is a monster compared to the 6.2. Like I mentioned, the transmission has me a little concerned about how it will last in the long run, but while it has warranty on it, I'm not gonna worry about it too much. Also I should mention, I have my exhaust slightly modified, I removed the muffler, the rear most tail pipe reaonator, and the other reaonator that is before the muffler, leaving only the first 2 in/1 out resonator. It has a really nice sound, maybe too loud for some, but I guarantee you people turn their heads and wonder what on earth is in that truck when I drive by lol.

@HillsideAcres 2 жыл бұрын
I had no concerns as i dont plan to keep the truck out of warranty. I think the gear skipping is possibly due to the top three gears being overdrive gears but im really not positive on that.
