I wish the half tons got these bigger v8 options. That would be so awesome

6.8L is for the person who wants a SuperDuty for the size and payload but doesn’t need to tow more than 14,000 pounds. And probably doesn’t plan on towing that often.

I totally forgot about the new 6.8L engine. Nicely optioned xlt

@davep4610 6 күн бұрын

To me the 6.8 would be the obvious choice. A little less money and theoretically a hair better MPG than the 7.3. Unless you tow “big” or carry a large camper often.

Ben your comment about your trying to figure out the application for the 6.8. The 6.8 was drsigned for weekend warriors towing a camper and needing extra payload and braking power that the f150 doesnt have. And the 7.3 was created because so many people wanted a heavier duty gas rig for more of everyday pulling eith out having to buy a diesal and deal with all the emmission garbage. I think that the 6.8 is going to be a great engine and if you absoutley had to you could get the 4.30 rear end in it.

I agree. I’m the weekend warrior. Had a F150 5.0 that was great but everything is getting bigger and heavier to tow. The F250 with the 6.8 gives me that little bit more that I needed without spending $100k. My F250 cost maybe $5k more then a new F150. Gas mileage is maybe 2-3 mpg less than my F150 (leveling kit and 33’s). So far so good.

6.8 replaced the old reliable 6.2 that was in every work truck, van etc. So they want it widespread to have it show it’s a solid engine. Just a detuned 7.3. Same block.

Thank you Ben for the 6.8L video. Have one in my 2023 F250 STX, 6.8L with 3:73 gears. Think it's an underrated engine.

The 6.8 exists for fleets and commercial contractors that don’t need 430 Hp in their basic truck. The 6.8 should be more durable due to thicker cylinder walls,which improves head gasket sealing and heat transfer.I’d like to see side by side towing comparisons ,mpg and performance testing.The few 6.8s I’ve seen do 0-60 times are much quicker than the 7.3l . Is that a fluke or does the lighter duty transmission,and lower option truck combination more than make up for the 25 hp difference?

@fattie2550 6 күн бұрын

Ben, how does the 6.8 compare to mpg and engine performance on Chevy/GMC 6.6 gasser?

@proudam3969 5 күн бұрын

The 2024 & 2025 models 6.8L can run on E85 fuel and higher while the 7.3L doesn't. I run all my vehicles with 91 or higher octane premium fuel so doesn't matter to me. The exterior of this truck looks really good with the STX package.

Not in a loaded XLT crew cab 4x4 .If you do a basic xl which is still better equipped than a 10 yr old XLT,or an Stx you can cut 5-8k off the price .

Have you shopped for houses, apartments, groceries, or insurance recently? Everything is extremely expensive the average new car sale in America is $40,000. You can get a base model F150 XL for 40K or an F250 XL for 47K. But you get 10x more technology, safety and convenience features standard now then you did 5 years ago.

I don't understand why this engine even exists, only available on XL trim and once you add 4wd and this STX package, it's cheaper to get an XLT that comes standard with 7.3l and 4x4.

Truly underpowered. F-150s with the power boost have more power and double the fuel economy.

@braddenr.4778 6 күн бұрын

“Underpowered” Lol. You can’t even touch the towing capacity of this truck with an F-150. You can’t even make the comparison…what are you saying? I’d love to see a power boost pull just 10k at 80mph: interstate vs this F-250. Watch the trans temps, EG temp, oil temp, and rear diff temp skyrocket. Definitely one of the dumber comments I’ve seen.

@handyman2183 6 күн бұрын

Comparing “apples to oranges.” Even the best mechanical watch is inaccurate when compared to a cheap quartz. The value proposition in each case is different. Forced induction produces more power but that comes at a cost. I would venture to guess that towing a heavy trailer or driving over the speed limit brings the MPG difference much closer.

@alexsmba 6 күн бұрын

@@braddenr.4778 dude the PowerBoost is rated to tow 14k lbs. it will do 10k just fine. But yes, the F250 has a bigger frame, bigger stronger axles, beefier tranny, bigger brakes, and more robust suspension. That being said, if I were towing 10,000 lbs, and it was just pulling occasionally, I’d still take the F150.

These gas heavy duties are made for payload. Some work crews and independent contractors honestly need them. And some can afford to spec them with some luxury as well as they have to double as the family vehicle. Half ton trucks and midsize trucks can’t do what these heavy duty trucks can
