...we picked up our 2020 7.3L/3.55 F-250 September 11. We haven’t towed the TT more than 50 miles at a time yet so no real highway towing mileage yet but it’s looking like 8.5-9.5 on flat ground. Love the sound of the 7.3 and the 10spd is great so far. No buyer’s remorse at all.
I am curious, I may be misunderstanding this, but in towing, do you not want the 4.30 instead of the 3.55?
That is correct. The ten speed has plenty of gear reduction for grunt work around the yard and campgrounds. Especially with 4x4 in 4Lo if I ever need it. Boat ramps being my reason for 4x4. On the interstate towing our TT in Tow Haul mode, it likes 8th gear. And I still have 10th for lower rpm running empty.
