I didn't hear them talk about engine weights but I'm going to guess that the 7.3 weighs less than a 6.2. If that is correct then the truck will have more available payload. I don't think this engine will cost a lot more if any than a 6.2 to build so the upgrade cost shouldn't be much more.
It seemed to me that he was stressing fuel economy so I expect it to be noticeably better than a 6.2. If it tows the way I think it will it should be able to replace a lot of the diesels that are not towing huge amounts of weights. It might not get the overall mileage of a diesel but considering the difference in fuel prices it could be a lot more economical in the long run.
Ford has been building a lot of good engines in the last several years and I expect this one to be good as well.
