I can attest to this as being true. I had a 2008 Sequoia with the 5.7L towing 7k trailer but loaded full of family (and dog) - through Utah/Wyoming rockies. It behaved much like this. That 7.3L is incredible that it can do this given the gearing etc. The only thing that likely would slow it down would be a tall travel trailer (likely lighter for sure) but with added wind resistance (which changes things big time), but you could easily just get the steeper gears and likely would help mitigate that issue...

My colorado 3.6l pulled about 3,700lbs from Vegas to Salt Lake City and back. On the way back I was floored at ~5krpm barely holding 60mph. I can just imagine this big 7.3 probably wouldn't have changed the shift pattern 😅😅

You idiots all really "order" new 2021 trucks in 2021 for delivery within a few monyhs of 2022 production starting and your new truck becoming a "year old" overnight? That's funny. Not humorous funny. Odd funny. Like you're either "bots" lying out your ass and getting paid to post "spam" or you're really that stupid.

You bought a 7.3 with 430s for 26 ft Camper,You won’t even know it’s back there ,you would’ve been fine with the F150 3.5 eco-boost.It wouldn’t no it’s back there either. I think it will be a estatic with your new truck!

@@JohnDiMartino Ha...yes....we went through the thought of an F150. But, we may get a bigger rig later on. And, I've been part of some shady towing set ups, so I never wanted to be under tow vehicled!! Additionally, 50% of the ways out of our town here in Ouray are a 4000ft climb within 1/4 of a mile of the town. Oh, and the other item I didn't want to skimp on is payload. We can easily surpass 3000lbs.

Thanks for watchin

I agree totally. Not a giant Ford fan really...BUT this truck seems like the IDEAL option for people who wanna tow, and tow quite heavy. BUT also want a reliable (to be determined...but it's a gas engine so...) not all that garbage emmisions and DPF poo. The power from it, the gears and the trans (with the awesome tuning that was done to it) and the thing just does. I'd love to drive one and see how it is, but they seem like a pretty darn good truck.

You're CORRECT......the Ford 7.3L gas with 10R140G and 4.30 gears is in a class of its own! Compare the 7.3L gas engine to the 6.0L diesel engine? I just sold a VERY NICE 2006 F350 CC Lariat 6.0L 4WD SRW 172 truck that had virtually every option. I worked it hard, but it was super clean...95 percent both interior and exterior. Yeah, it is possible to work a truck hard and keep it nice. Most of these trucks had the 3.73 gears in the differentials. However, Ford offered 4.10...and 4.30 gears. The 6.0L with a load in tow and the 4.30 gears.....will run up Eisenhower Tunnel or Vail Pass like it was a Sunday afternoon drive on I-25. The 6.0L diesel would out tow and out perform the 7.3L gas with the 4.30 gears. However, I'd bet the 7.3L gas with the 4.30 gears would out perform the 6.0L diesel with the 3.73 gears. If the 6.0L had the 4.10 gears...probably be close toss up.

@@baileyhatfield4273 ***Maybe you will become a Ford fan.*** You are CORRECT...the Ford Super Duty with the 7.3L gas engine, 10R140G and 4.30 gears IS the IDEAL truck for many people. I have had diesel trucks...and they "launch the load" from a stop...and pass with a load very good at highway speeds. However, I now tow lighter loads and less frequently. The 7.3L will still tow heavy loads...and more than Ford states...just not quite as easy and efficiently. These are the main reasons I just ordered on March 30th, a 2022 F350 Lariat - Ultimate Package - Black Appearance Package - Tremor Package with most all options. ***I have always like the GM gas engines. BUT, I absolutely and completely HATE the Chevrolet and GMC trucks....especially the 4WD trucks. In short, 4WD GM trucks are PATHETIC off-road...especially on uneven terrain in mud and or snow. These trucks always get stuck. Why? IFS Axle instead of Solid Front Axle and...Low Hanging Frame Rails cause the following ------------------> 1. POOR Front Axle Articulation off-road on uneven terrain 2. POOR Approach Angle 3. POOR Departure Angle 4. PATHETIC Breakover Angle (GM trucks "High Center" off-road and become "teeter totters" 5. Square / Rectangle Wheel Wells with Little Itty Bitty Tires. The proverbial "round peg in a square hole"...Stupid engineering for a 4WD truck. Lift? It takes either a 4 inch or 6 inch depending upon desired tire size......messes up the "Center of Gravity". People who own and drive Fords and Dodges can get 37 inch tires with Level Suspension System (Carli Suspension). AEV gets a 40 inch tire under a Dodge with a mild 3 inch lift. 6. Solid Front Axle better for towing...more weight up front...better balance. That said, I have seen to many people driving a Ford F250 and towing a big 5th Wheel...with rear suspension sag...NOT safe. If I was a Highway Patrol...I'd pull these people over...write 'em a ticket and tell them to install Air Lift, Firestone or Hellwig air bags. If they can afford the rig, they can easily afford the air bags. 7. Ford Super Duty trucks have Fully Boxed Frames that are e-Coated. 8. Ford offers more and better amenities and options. Plus, not many "option restrictions" like Dodge and GM is the worst...want or get a certain option...cannot have one or more other options. GM wants "assembly line efficiency" more than "customer satisfaction".***

It’s comparable with the GM 8100, that’s pretty recent in regards to modern trucks.

Have you tried putting new tires on it? After that, if it still does it (first of all jack it up and make sure nothing is worn; ball joints, steering components) bolt on a steering stabilizer. Neither is a deal breaker problem.

Those 6.8 v10s were a fantastic engine. Being that came out around 99 it had a great run with great reliability and respectable power. Never understood the hate for those, I have 3 v10s all with over 300,000 miles and they still run great.

Did you order it? What is your payload and other weights?

@@slaytanic921 on order. I have an order number but no VIN yet. I ordered Nov 2 2021. I ordered an F-350 XLT Crew Cab 4x4 FX4 7.3 Long Box, 3.73 locker, power pedals, power tow mirrors, that crazy 360 camera tow package, an extra camera, block heater, upfitter switches, fifth wheel gooseneck prep, a bed mat, a tailgate step, and clearance lights. First time I have ever gone for a Hail Mary like this. Some old guys buy Corvettes. I’d rather drive this. Im currently on a vacation trip using a similar truck only it is a Lariat. Ford gave our company this truck and said it was experimental. Won’t tell us what that means. But they just want it driven. It has telematics on it. My CEO authorized me to take it because he thinks this will convince me to back down to an F-150 again. Haha. I drove it 680 miles today from southwest LA to Smyrna TN. All smooth highway. Truck is a dream on the highway. Impressed with the engine. Tomorrow I’ll calculate mpg at the pump but the truck says it did 15.7mpg on the trip. This truck has mild mud terrain tires on it that aren’t great for highway. They are noisy. I’m sure they have a lot of rolling resistance. I was in ECO mode the entire day by the way. Great truck. I’m convinced I want to keep my 350 order intact. Why did I go 350? Slide in camper. Slightly better payload. I ordered it derated to 10k GVWR and confirmed with State of LA and my Progressive insurance Agent that I won’t have to worry about it being classified “commercial”. Everyone says it will ride hard. Sick of hearing that. The 250 I drive today feels like an F-150 from a couple decades ago. It’s a TRUCK. It’s a Super Duty. It’s no toy.

@@ColtWR Good to know. Great Video!

Buy a Cummins.. not a 24, but before that. 24’s got hydraulic cam n lifters n they have problems

y'd you go with the 350 instead of the 250? from what i've read and watched the two trucks r the same so just curious if that info is correct, thx

@@adamant7146 I’ve got several trailers but only one of them has about a 2000 pound tongue weight for conventional towing. We don’t tow very often so the diesel was not a choice because I did not want to spend the upfront money the cost of diesel DEF fluid and additional oil changes. It would’ve taken me six years of driving to make up the difference in the cost of diesel. Yes I know when you resell your truck you can recoup lots if not maybe all the money but I did not want to spend the amount of money upfront. With all the reviews I knew the 7.3 with the 430 axle will definitely do the job and it does. As far as 250 versus 350 can’t remember now but I believe they might be the same. The choices were very slim when we bought it and there was very little inventory in the state of Texas. Wasn’t looking for the Tremor but we sure like it and it gets a lot of attention. The stock tires have been great with no issues and they are relatively quiet. No death wobble no problems at 15 months old and 25,000 miles. I’d have to look inside the door at the payload but I do believe mine is about 3600 pound payload. Transmission and engine work fantastic. I suppose if we lived up in the mountains or engine braking would be extremely helpful then I would’ve opted for the diesel. The brakes are fantastic. I think you can only get the 430 rear end on the trimmer package. Get the 250 or 350 and you would be happy. Not sure if there is a difference on the 2022 models versus the 2020 which is a minor. Look up the specifications on the Ford website and you would be able to determine the difference between 350 and 250. We’ve got the camper package 11,500 GVWR and heavier front Springs. I didn’t buy it for fuel economy and I really don’t care. This is our daily driver. How do you suppose if money was not an option I would get the diesel but the problem with the diesel is it is a lot less payload. Good luck

And I love hearing that thing eating those RPMs

We are looking at upgrading to this set up as well and do not want diesel anymore. We were hoping to get a f450 with the 7.3 but the only way to do that is chassis cab. The pick up f450 exclusively has the diesel. I've been searching info on the f350 7.3 towing a 20k 5th wheel but haven't found much. Do you have this set yet and how do you like it?

How is your set up doing I’m considering buying a 7.3 myself I’m running an F3 50 with a diesel Dooley because I’m running a 45 foot RV max capacity is 21,000 and I’m hauling about 20,700 right now I just don’t know if that 7.3 can handle that safely. With the tow capacity and pin weight of the truck be enough to handle such a big RV that’s the reason I bought the Dooley because it can do it

Really? That's a pretty common ratio. 4.30 is stupid low for a modern "big-block" 3/4-ton.

You call WOT most of the time climbing 2000 feet in 65 miles good performance? I'm guessing 5 mpg. I'm probably overestimating.

@@deeremeyer1749 I would. GM rated the 8.1 to gross TWICE that weight with a 6 speed. It would have been going 30 mph.

@@deeremeyer1749 why not. Consistent speed, not much gear shift, 8% grade and only 3.55 rear end. That’s impressive for a gasser.

@@deeremeyer1749 The dude in the video said his old 4500 Cummins Ram with a 4.30 rear end would only hold about 63mph on the same hill with the same load, the fact that this GAS powered Ford with a 3.55 rear end was going between 55mph and 60mph towing the same is impressive no matter how much you want to discredit it.

@@nicolathonathan770 It is impressive...especially with the 3.55 gears. What is shocking is Ford building Class 2 and Class 3 trucks equipped with gas engines and the 3.55's...even with a 10R140G transmission. From what I have read on forums and comments on KZfaq videos...the trucks with the 3.55 gears do not get any noticeable or significant better mpg's on fuel. Personally, with a new or newer Super Duty and a gas engine, I would not want any gear ratios with a gas engine except 4.10:1 or 4.30:1. Ford does not offer and has not offered the 4.10 gears for a few years. Not sure why as it would be a great gear ratio for many truck owners. I sold a 2006 F350 CC 6.0L 4WD SRW 172 that had 3.73 gears, ARP head studs, SCT with 395 HP, BTS, PacBrake PXRB exhaust brake and all Bullet Proof Diesel parts. It was slow pulling loads up Eisenhower Tunnel, Vail Pass, Monarch Pass, Wolf Creek Pass and Rabbit Ears Pass. I regret not ordering the 4.30 gears in that truck. As for the 6.7L in the F250 or F350.....don't want and no longer need a diesel, but if I did...I would prefer 3.92 or 4.10 gears and would not want less than 3.73 gears. I don't care what the engineers in Dearborn say.....they are not pulling heavy loads in hill country in the "little mountain" states just west of the east coast, the Midwest.....or much less the long steep grades on mountain passes in the Rocky Mountain states. Guarantee the powerful 6.7L...with 3.55 gears just towing 20,000 to 25,000 pounds will slow down considerably going up Eisenhower Tunnel, Vail Pass or Rabbit Ears Pass.....or numerous other mountain passes in other states.

A single or dual rear ???👍

Wow. A "new" 2021 a "quarter" before 2022 production starts and a "1-ton" you had to special order as Ford apparently sits on a trainload of $7500 "crate motors" that are only "Ford Performance" OTC to retail customers and all the "swappers".getting them free but are "service replacement" in the Ford dealer parts system. What's the holdup? The "Ford" 10-speed automatic transmission for that "big-block".or the 3.73 "Ford" rear axle in that "one-ton" or the fact that your "special order" is a really goofy way to order a "1-ton" and you're A-OK with paying all the taxes, insurance, registration etc on a "brand-new" truck that will be a "year old" model year wise about 2 months and a day after "delivery" and you're going to pay 2022 taxes on it twice is one "calendar year"? Let me guess. You're paying "MSRP" too. And.maybe a "premium" for a light-duty axle ratio in a "1-ton". And a "Chevy" ratio at that. I had 3.73s once. In a '69 Chevy C10 Custom light-duty half-ton that left the assembly line with a 307 and a 3-speed on the column. My 1-ton has 4.56s. '85 K30 4x4 dually regular cab-chassis with a flabed and side boxes. A "mild" 10:1ish early 70s 454 "car motor" with enough cam to lope a little, Edelbrock 2-O intake, Holley 750 double-pumper that's going bye bye for a Q-Jet or EFI when the motor gets "freshened" up again and maybe finally sees a boring bar and hone after 150,000+ miles "towing" a TLB on a 25-foot tandem dual flatbed for a concrete crew, headers and a Holley blue pump and about 4.psi to the.dual feed. SM465 behind that needing 3rd-gear synchros "already" with somewhere north of 300,000 miles on it. "Direct-drive" NP205 behind that without the.pesky "coupler" from trans output to T-case input. Good old 14-bolt behind that and a REAL Dana 60 up front. Stack of leaves on each side in the back thick enough when "sled pulling" and wiping up the "stock class" it barely "squats" even with the hitch in the highest receiver (got a stack of 5 or 6 tubes in the rear bed "skirt" tied into the whole main bed frame and gooseneck hitch so zero need for "drop hitches") hole I can put it in and keep the front wheels on the ground untll she "powers out" 25-100 feet ahead of the "first loser" and then there's a good six inches of "overloads". All factory and straight-truckesque. I've been told it's more like a 1 1/4-ton being a cab-chassis with no worry from/by the factory about "overloading" a pickup box and tailgate. Dual tanks. 12 mpg if "adult-driven" with occasional bursts.of "WOT" up to wherever we get beyond 85 mph. No tach. No need. I keep my foot in it until somebody gets scared I notice the oil pressure needle is starting to "flutter". Pretty sure somebody stuck an HV oil pump in it back in the day and with 6ish quarts in the pan and some in the filter I figure about 60 seconds at 6000ish RPM is about what it takes to pump most of it "upstairs"and start sucking a little air. Probably go back to stock when it gets "freshened". I figure she's good for an honest 375ish horsepower at the flywheel at 6000-6250ish RPM. And at 7000ish pounds with 6 on the ground and stock size "all terrain" tires at that she always powers out before she spins out. Low range 2nd gear; high range1st gear, even high 2nd with a "light" sled. She'll go in about any gear you can start it in and still whip most everybody even it's too high. Sad to say she hasn't whipped nearly as many Fords as Chevys or even Dodges. And she's spanked a badass 440 and even a genooine 426 Hemi in front of a Torque-Flite. Last season I pulled right after buying her and getting her out of the weeds and back on the track for the first time in probably 15 years. Forst pull we were having neglected fuel system issues and running like crap and got beat pretty bad by that 440 Dodge she used to spank. I Holly blued and dual fed and adjustable regulated and filtered her and got one tank cleaned out and drawing good and threw some plugs and a timing light at her. The next weekend the tables turned and we went from about 30 feet behind the Dodge to 30 feet ahead when I shut her down "early" because she was bouncing just a little. Enough the front tires were a foot off the ground. Repeatedly. She didn't break. About any other truck would have. After that we ran the table at three more pulls and I "made money" and paid for my fuel and fuel system parts and beer. Only had one "scare". Very stock-looking 2000ish Chevy K2600HD with "8100" badges on the side and a bone in its teeth and 42 cubes on The Dually. I don't think he had 4.56s and I know we had probably 500-600 lbs. outright and that again in hitch height/distance advantage on him. I had maybe .5 mph on him when the pan dropped at 3/4 track and a few more Rs maybe. Probably not much more "horsepower". But a different "ECU" behind the wheel. 25 feet seemed close after putting 50-75 easy on everything else. I got a feeling "Godzilla" would be Rat turds in no time if your "1-ton" and my "tonner" ever got together. I just don't know of any really "strong" factory "bjg-blocks" that need more transmission "speeds" than any pickup truck in history BEFORE you get into the transfer case. "Godzilla". Typical "Ford power". Complete science fiction.

Get the taller gears if you're going to be towing under 12k. The fuel savings is worth it.

I'd go with the 4.30s I don't believe your towing mpg will change much but it will be better to have the closer trans ratios with the 4.30s when your towing that often.
