New 7.3 vs old V-10

[jonmacpolo]

I had a 2007 Ford 350 short-bed gas V-10 with a large Lance camper on it, and it would struggle going up the Sierras while pulling a small boat. Do you think the new 7.3 would do better than the old V10?
Thanks,

If your in the market for a truck and loyal to Ford then 7.3 would be a good choice and upgrade over V10. Imo

I guess define struggle. If you mean slows down on grades, you probably are going to do the same with the 7.3 so I wouldn’t necessarily blow $30-40 large on a new truck just to get the 7.3.

It not only has more power than the V-10, it has the new 10 speed transmission which should keep it in a sweet spot more often.

Watch this video and I think you will be impressed.
