They bought a new project truck, a 2020 F250 XLT with the 7.3L Gas engine, a 3.55 locking rear, and the new 10 speed auto. Should be a great series of videos!VIDEOSide note - that XLT trim has everything I would want in a truck. $55k was the sticker.

So since they bought this one, can they run it up the hill yet??? Anyone know what rear end the red loaner they got from ford has in it?

I seen this one coming from a previous video and I'm certain they'll honor Fords embargo and reporting performance details.

They have their "Godzilla" so now they are waiting for a Mothra to chase.

They teased about a comparison test between a SuperDuty 6.7L diesel and a 7.3L gasser a couple of weeks ago. Still waiting !

The TFL guys bought a 7.3L | Good Sam Community

Or did not have BOTH trucks at the same time to comparison test.

I think Ford has a embargo on anyone reporting on the driving performance of these trucks until 1/21/20. Here's a video with that statement when Ford delivered this jewel to TFL. BTW... I sure like that black truck but swore I would never own another black vehicle since my 1985 black IROC Z Camaro.

$55 for a gas engine, mid level truck? That seems a little pricey to me. What kind of rebates are they offering and what actual OTD prices are they seeing?

Probably not many right now; it's too new. Best to wait a few months when the honeymoon phase is over! :B

If you buy one right now you're sure to pay a premium. Depending on the demand it might take a while for them to back off of the prices.
