X3. It is still the best diesel Ford PUT in a truck (for Fish) by a long shot! I looked long and hard for a good 7.3L prior to buying my Ram. Yes, you will certainly be slower on hills than newer trucks but who cares? I would still seriously consider a cherry 7.3L Super Duty crew cab dually 4x4 Lariat if I stumbled across one.
The exhaust brake should be considered a must, however. I didn't have one until my current truck and it makes towing mountain passes MUCH more enjoyable.
And the 5.9 cummins is still the best diesel dodge put in a truck (for blofgren).
I have to say with our experience the 7.3 PSD trucks have cost us far less money to keep on the road than the dodge trucks.
