Anyone order a new Ford 7.3 gas?

[colliehauler]

Just curious if anyone has ordered a new 7.3 Ford?

I have an appointment at the Ford Dealership to check out my 2003 Ford F250 V10 with 124K one owner miles. It has been a great truck. Just have to find out
why it dies for no reason. Supposedly they have a Tech with 34 yrs experience. For $60 hopefully he can tell me what's wrong. If I cannot get my V10 repaired I will buy the 2020 XLT with the 6.2L for $40K out the door. Nearly everyone I talk to think my problem is the fuel pump which will cost $800 plus

I nearly bought one two days ago from Elk Grove Ford. The MSRP was $50,480 without the options. I could have bought it for $46,852.38 out the door. My Grand Son is a Homicide Det in Sac Ca and the owner Cole Wood who is the owner of Elk G Ford, sponsors my GS Homicide partner in Race Car. Cole loves Law E and Service People so he more or less sells the cars etc at his costs.
430 HP at 5500 RPM 3,55 axle ratio I decided at my age that I did not need that much truck so decided on a 2020 XLT F250 Ford for $40K OTD

So you bought the 6.2L?

Thanks for the information.

[steve-n-vicki]

Those are hand calculatedBut the onboard display is usually within 2/10 ,usually lower

[Dave_H_M]

whoah there are some MPG figures that beat the hey out of my F250 with 6.2 and 4.30 diffy :C

[bucky]

Are those mpg figures measured or dash board readings? Sounds like a very nice truck, congrats.

Go to Ford-trucks.com and look for 2017 + Super Duty Forum and scroll thru many pages of posts about Super Duty's. It's a very active site. There are several reports on the 7.3, towing and not towing. Sorry, I'm not sure how to post a link or I would have done that.
