Unless that engine turns out to be a complete turd, which we should know within just a few model years, I’d still be willing to give it a try. I can’t imagine being more disappointed with an engine than I was with the 6.4L diesel in my 2010 F450. I did get a good trade-in value on it though, despite its bad rep. Still, having enough power for my use, and reliability when we’re far from available help are the top items on my list for a truck. What kind of trade in I get, or what I may get in a private sale is on the list, but it’s below those.
I hope the 7.3L is a success.
