Ford 7.3 gas burner mpg hauling TC
What kind of mpg could you expect from Ford's new gas burner 7.3 hauling a Northstar Laredo? I have seen where they got 5.6 hauling a heavy loaded trailer.

The problem with the new Ford gas engine is,since the old 460 gas,they have had problems with there new engines like the 5.4 and V-10 spitting plugs..For that reason alone,I would personally pass on the first year or two on new Ford engines..
They are only newer compared to your 1997. They haven’t had that issue since 2008.

While old habits die hard and when talking vehicles that old, the likelihood of other issues besides spitting a plug are probably greater.
Fun fact, buddy has a 2014 or 2015 E450 box van for work with a 5.4. It vomited a spark plug a couple years ago.
Not a valid reason to stick with a 30 year old truck though, IMO.
