Interesting the oil cap says 5w30. Also, they say it'll be a step up from the 6.2L gas engine that makes 385hp/430tq, and slot in between the 6.2L gasser and the diesel for power and capability. So, the diesel is 450hp and the 6.2L gas is 385hp. I'm going to guess it should beat the 410hp/429tq of the 6.4L Hemi from RAM, so I'd estimate 425hp and 500tq for the 7.3L gasser. Anyone else want to take a guess?

What a time to be alive! HAHA! This next gen of all the HD trucks looks really good. Both gasser and diesel.

I can’t believe that new grill design. Nostrils! Right after Ram thankfully deleted them. Makes my nose itch. Deep inside. :):)

Funny how Ford picked the displacement of their most legendary diesel engine, and Chevy picked the displacement of theirs as the displacements of the new "big block" gas engines, and not the displacements of their old legendary big block gas engines.I would've expected Ford to reintroduce the 460, and GM the 454...

Interesting at 2:40 of the video that he is stating that the differences between the power numbers between the chassis dyno certification is almost identical to the engine dyno certification which means there will not be that much of a hp drop in the cab and chassis trucks due to the different emissions certifications.

In the 90's, GM's 7.4 was a 454 and I think Ford's 7.? was a 460. Am I right? Granted they didn't have the numbers as they will today, but displacement wise....the same. What was GM's 8.1 back in early 2000???

I love that it's an iron blocked pushrod engine, and I'm sure it will be extremely powerful, but it's not even as big as the old 460 Ford used to have.

And what's with the 10 speeds? Is the powerband going to be that narrow?

Something tells me the HP/Torque will be about the same as the 3 valve V-10..

Also I would not want the 1st or 2nd year of any new motor/transmission design, it took a few years for the V-10 to work out its issues.

Remember the spark plug blowing out issue.. :E

Now they just need to bring back the Crown Vic or Maurader and stick that motor in.

Thank the Lord for the big block Ford!

It will be a great engine, it looks like they borrowed some look and tech of the GM LS engines or just went back to the original design of their previous generation engine prior the Triton series. Regardless as I’m a so called fellow gear head, I’m loving the new gas engines. Can’t wait to see them all pull the IKE. I also like the fact that Ford is using this engine in larger trucks. I hope GMs new LS engine 6.6 will be the same. Oh and they followed GMs 6 bolt mains, bravo Ford. I’m glad they have, makes for better structural integrity and longevity. This engine will and should be impressive.

$4200 option over the 6.2? That's half the cost of a 6.7 option.

Sweet!
Great option. Especially for work trucks. The gassers are always a little anemic for towing and big Const companies like ours don’t buy many diesels for crew trucks.

Agreed great time to be alive if you’re a gearhead!

I wonder what the fuel mileage will be towing say 12,000# and empty?

Probably similar to the current gassers, but with a lot less downshifting.

While there are some DRW 6.2s on the road, the 7.3, if meeting expectations, will likely up the number of gas DRW vehicles being used to tow.

I would say Truck/Camper combo's will go this route for sure.
