Ford has been right on with their gas engines, other than a few glitches with the early Eco turbo. I don't see them screwing up a simple design, such as the 7.3, but I think the power of the 6.2/4.30 gears, with 10 speed would be a safer bet, and not far behind actual capability of the 7.3.

This. The new Ford gassers really seemed to have nailed it. I am buying a new truck soon to replace our old (but reliable) Duramax and it will probably be Ford. While the new 7.3 in interesting, the reports that came out today reflect some disappointing (but not surprising!) mpg. I either haul the TC or tow < 10,000# so I don’t need diesel or the 7.3 so I will probably go with the 6.2 with 4.30 rear end.
10 speed is available with the F350.
Would love to see some numbers for the 6.2 and 10 speed.
