Ford 7.3 v8
Has anyone had any experience with the new Ford 7.3 gas v8. Does it have enough power? What kind of MPG? Any problem with it? We are thinking of ordering a new motorhome with a gas engine and there...

I have about 13,000 miles on my 7.3, I’m averaging 14 miles to the gallon combination 30 % highway 70% city driving, Driving a 24 mile stretch of a straight level 2 Lane Rd. I can average 16.2 at 57 miles an hour in 10th gear, Pulling an 8 1/2 foot wide 16 foot 6‘6“ inside height enclosed car hauler trailer @‘70 mph was 9.8, I have a 14 foot dump trailer that is rated at 15,500 GVWR, the truck has no problem pulling this trailer @ it’s gross weight,
That sounds like quite a bit of improvement in mileage over my 1991 460 and my 2003 V10, with more power in torque to boot.
