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.. ...

I'm disappointed to read the F53 will retain the 6 speed.


The 6 speed would be better in the motorhome, in the video they could not get the truck to get past 8 gear on the 10 speed pulling a load.

The 6 speed would allow you to get to overdrive easier.
