Dealers usually have no clue what is offered after a vehicle has been in production for 3 years or longer :B
The economy? It's called a recession and it started over a year ago. It's all being swept under the rug as it's too close to the 2020 election cycle, and no matter what happens as far as what party wins, loses, or gains, right after those elections are over the rug will be removed.
Just look at the downturn in RV sales, boats, and other recreational big ticket items. The RV downturn started a year ago last June. We never went more than 10 years without a recession, and it's been going on 11. History repeats itself.
Here's another tell tale sign of what I am seeing around our area. Its all interconnected.

Bend over and grab your ankles. We're on borrowed time. The sky is falling LOL 😉

I bet an 80K MSRP. Winder how much of an increase Fords will tack in to cover the new UAW contract.
Have seen Superduties with $120k stickers in the past, so wonder how it will play.
We do have big inflation lately and household items, plants, vegetables seem go up 20% since a year ago.
On other hand technology is getting cheaper and cheaper and when I was comparing options, GPS who cost $1100 in 2016 went down to $700 in 2017 with added voice recognition.
Either way, truck sales are good point to show strong or weak economy.
Coming to engine choice, I just bought Sprinter van. The biggest body available is like 2-3 times size of my dually, yet diesel engine delivers 22 mpg easy. Sure it is not 440HP and has minimal tow rating, but did all the freeway grades just fine.
Ultimate to me would still be a SRW regular cab 4X4. 😄
I think the new 7.3L is going to be awesome and I really don't anticipate very many if any issues. Its all old technology with a lot of new built into it.
The down side for me is I use my pickup a lot, 30,000 miles per year.
We have a 2016 and a 2017 F-250 regular cab 4wd and they are the hardest riding things I'v ever driven. Worse than an old Dodge.
A new truck for me these day's would be a tough choice between a Ford and a Chevy.
I would love the 7.3L, just not sure about the rest of the truck.
I can tell you that the most butt ugly truck on the road today is the 2020 Silverado.
