The Verdic is in, New Ford 7.3 V-8 Gas mpg not so Great

5.5 to 6.1 mpg while pulling a load, looks like the new 7.3 V-8 gets about the same mpg as the 6.8 V10.. Different motor same mpg, looks like the gas motorhomes are still stuck with bad mpg.. ...

With the newer 10 speed and the new 7.3 I would expect better mileage, at least 1 mpg better. I got better with my 02 V-10 Excursion.

I personally would hope for better drive ability and mileage. Anything less is unacceptable.

If Ford wants to do something good for the F53 then replace the front solid axle with independent and offer an air ride option.
