I was told that some Bluebird Vision school buses have those now.

Costs almost as much as the 6.7, so there's zero reason to get it. Just get the 6.8. Same engine as the 7.3, just less displacement, but more reliable.

I would still rather have the old 6.2 .. Its reliability is unmatched Yeah, it's a little less powerful, It's not by much

​@@StarlesslemonThe 6.7 is a $12000 option. The 7.3 is $8000. I'm not great at math but that's not the same.

@@Fin.mint.damn 8k for the 7.3, i just got a 2024 f350 that came with the 6.8 , crazy that much more money for not that much extra torque and hp

No lift needed for 35’s on a super duty

And also its a small block due to bore spacing

The 7.3 gas v8 is a monster.

triton v10 was dog shit. v8 power with cruise ship gas mileage, and no balls to pull. spent thousands of miles in one and blew it up. this 7.3 was the best move they could have made, but the triton v10 sucked. a tried and true gm 6.0 was a better 1 ton motor.

@@97336cf well considering the 8.1 GM was harder to find I would say th v10 got down pretty good on the one I drove but I’d take an 8.1 any days

Our f450 V10 triton/pto Dump bed manual trans, ejecto Seato'd 6 spark plugs on me in 2 years pulling around our skid steer and mini excavator. I guess it was ok when it wasn't puking spark plugs and ripping the threads out of the head. Wouldn't recommend it/10

​@@Seasniffer69 love my v10 with 4.30 gears, pull over 10k with it everyday and have been for 2 years now.

@@strokinbaby965 I'm glad you didn't have any issues! Once we blew the sixth sparkplug the boss got all the sparkplugs helicoiled/timesert. Think it cost 4k to do all 10 at the shop. 7-8 mpg loaded or unloaded. I prolly put 50k miles behind that thing over a 7 year span before I left for greener pastures

Yeah the new mustangs look pretty sweet..

I'd want a Cummins swapped Challenger

There's always a few hiccups on your doing a new design. I just like the older 6.2 gas

@@Adventureswithmike1 Me too. They have been very reliable aside from some springs, but it's not too common. I would take one.

@gen-x-zeke8446 Yeah my 6.2 hadn't had any issues 214k miles And it's still runs extremely strong.

@@Adventureswithmike1 What year?

@@gen-x-zeke8446 I have a 2013 Ford F250... It is my main work truck. So I use it for towing and hauling scrap metal. Everyday

You can really tell I difference when towing downhill with the engine braking of the power stroke

How was the fuel cost

@@halogod0298 had a 35 gallon tank got around 5-6 hours on a full tank empty at about 70-90$ depending on fuel

@@Sandman1818-vi9dk how many MPG ?

@@halogod0298 about 14 no trailer loaded....7-10,000lbs anywhere from 8-11.5 maybe 12mpg

I don't remember how far it was, but I remember. He placed third in the stock class.. Second was a brand new 2021 chevy, with a 6.6 gas. And first place was an F350 tremor. With a 7.3 That guy won the last four years in a row

This video was just a small clip of the full video . But they are pulling a purpose built sled that drags along the ground. And it's overall weight is 30000 plus pounds.. And there is a weight Box on the trailer so the further you pull it the weight Box slides forward digging the trailer into the ground... Check out some of my other videos. If you've never seen a truck pulling video from a fair you'll will be interested in it

@@Adventureswithmike1 oh daamn nice, yeah thats pretty badass. Thanks for sharing!

@@jiroh8123 Yeah you'd be surprised how many trucks break from the actual strain and stress

This was filmed at the hartford fair In northeast pennsylvania

You must have mistaken it for Chevy.. Now if you would have said lifters

It's a measure of distance.. Whoever pulls it the furthest wins. But it's a lot harder than it looks. That's sled weights 30000+ pounds It takes a lot of Torque and traction to get it It moving and then there's a weight box that's slides forward. Digging the front of it into the ground making the even harder. It is the ultimate towing test

This truck is rated to tow 15,000 lbs to 18,500 Depending on what gear ratio it has... The slide that is being pulled in the video ways over 30,000 pounds

Very impressive I am on hold with car max right now for one haha they can’t answer the question I wanna tow a large 5 th wheel

I was towing a heavy dump trailer with mine, about 18k total trailer weight. 4.30 Gears. I would say it was adequate.

Cheaper alternative to someone who doesn't need tow more than 16000 lbs.. Diesel engines have higher maintenance more They're more expensive initial cost. In the case of Ford, it is a $9000 option. Just 2 equip the same truck with a 6.7 diesel.

The dpf on the diesel can cost over $10K to replace and you will replace it... Plus it's $10K up front injectors are failing at $5K per set and you can't idle it for long terms or you will clog up the DPF filter.

@evilhenchmen9594 It's actually everything. Diesel fuels more expensive. And overall regular maintenance is more expensive plus like you said, the up charge for the diesel engine. If you're not gonna be towing over 15 or 16000 pounds like I said before. It really is not. A good option because most people only use their truck for part time work

Because money doesn't grow on trees.

I don't remember what it pulled I have the full length video on my channel..

@@Adventureswithmike1 cool that helps

@@Adventureswithmike1 it pulled 237.32 is what I heard

Yeah I couldn't remember what it was off hand I filmed so many trucks

Nobody cares

Yes

Not really ..

Why

​@@Adventureswithmike1traction/not spinning & it will be able to put more power to the ground

It's hard to expect decent gas mileage from such a big motor.. And a heavy truck.

@Adventureswithmike1 yeah I get that there's always a give and a take

Well you’d think at some point all of that power with an unloaded vehicle would yield somewhat okay mileage driving normal, but no. I averaged 10mpg babying it. Couldn’t stand it. I lived at the pump

Chevy and dodge isn't better at all .. I knew something would Eventually start to happen when the mileage went up on these...

@@Adventureswithmike1 I agree, they all have their problems. This was supposed to be Fords tough work truck monster. Btw I drive Fords

@anthonys7534 It's just funny how the 7.3 are starting to drop I'm kind of glad I didn't get the upgrade... I think i'm going to find a used Twenty twenty one. With a 6.2 gas like I have now.. That engine is a lot more reliable

Chevrolet and GMC had the same delaminating camshaft / lifter problem on the 6.2L in the Class 1 (1500) trucks. It is NOT a Ford, GM or Mopar problem. Instead, it is a THIRD PARTY parts supplier company caused problem.

@@Adventureswithmike1 I had a 2019 F350 with the 6.2L and sold it to order a 2022 F350 7.3L Tremor. The 6.2L is SOHC design, which has a higher RPM sweet spot compared to the 7.3L Push Rod design with a lower RPM power band...which is a much better engine platform for a heavy duty truck. Many individual truck owners, companies, corporations...along with city, county, state and federal governments are replacing their diesel engine Class 2 (F250 / 2500) and Class 3 (F350 / 3500) trucks with the same Class that has a gas engine. Ford's life blood is TRUCKS. Therefore, Ford will address and fix any serious long term problems associated with the 7.3L or new 6.8L gas engines. In addition, the aftermarket will start building higher quality parts to replace any short lived components and parts.

They are work trucks. They are easy to open, especially if you have work gloves on. In fact a lot of buttons and switches on the truck are big for that reason.

Yeah they do a lot more than that.. Thanks for watching

Ford quality has been better than GM or Chrysler for most of the last 50 years. Ford didnt become garbage until about the time the 5.4 3 valve came out and then the Ecotrash engine was unleashed on the truck world and then they started using rubber oil pump belts LMAO. Now all 3 are garbage. Even the turbo Tundra from Toyota is trash compared to the excellent last gen trucks. Old rigs are the way forward.

Are you Ghey?

I think it pulled a little bit better myself.. But the other F350 godzilla. Actually pulled like 10' further.. And was the winner of this class. But I know that truck had 4.30 gears and lockers front and rear.. Where I don't know if this truck was 4.30 gear or not.. And the other truck was only 3.73 if I believe

@@Adventureswithmike1 unfortunately you can't get 4.30's on the 6.6

Yeah I figured that

The 7.3 has more torque though

Yeah the 7.3 a torque monster

No it is A 7.3 gas v8

@@Adventureswithmike1 the sound is nothing like a diesel engine.

Modern diesel engines and pick up trucks are very powerful. But when something goes wrong they're extremely expensive to fix. Most people will never use. The power of the diesel engines and the gas engines are so much more reliable. An easier to fix that. Most people just buy him for status, then usability anymore..

@@Adventureswithmike1 Exactly!! As a 40yr mechanic no way I would own a diesel pickup. Gas is king on reliability and maintenance. A air brake truck with tilt hood is best option for diesel with more towing capacity and reliability. Otherwise gas is best all around option for pickup or light trucks. It all comes down to common sense and numbers.

@@southernhellstorm6634 Enjoy the gasser but any diesel is gonna outlast a gas truck especially when used to pull.

No actually the truck is still running and working everyday. This was the man's company truck I talked to him often.. So yeah there's that.. Stupid comment

@@Adventureswithmike1 Clean truck. Any idea what size lift and tires?

@@HAUSS81 No I do not know of hand.. it is a pretty sweet truck though.

I don't like the diesel engines there great till there not.. very expensive to fix and maintain and diesel fuel is almost $1 more a gallon in Pennsylvania...

Well considering it has more horsepower and Torque. Yeah That wouldn't be a surprised
