It’s thirsty too, I’ve never seen above 9 towing. Runs about 12 mpg as daily driver.Re: Looking at used 2023 Chevy HD 2500, DuramaxHonestly, that sounds like a screaming deal on that truck.Re: 7.3 Ford gas engineI’ve got just shy of 25K miles on mine. Love the power, but it’s thirsty. I get between 11&12 around town. 8 something towing, depending on the wind.Re: Tire Advice ktmrfs wrote: manley wrote: For what it’s worth, I replaced all four of my 3-year old Endurance tires with Hercules strong guards yesterday.

The reviews that I found on the Hercules tires and brand were decent. We will see as time will tell. what issues or problems were you having with the Goodyear Endurance? Had one separate completely and do pretty bad damage. Manufacture date code “0720” and inflated (religiously) to 80 psi. No uneven wear, and no signs of impending failure. I bought those (and paid a premium) to avoid those kind of problems.Re: Tire AdviceFor what it’s worth, I replaced all four of my 3-year old Endurance tires with Hercules strong guards yesterday.

Tread separation, with damage to the trailer. Tire never lost pressure. Actually looks like a retread that came off. Tires were properly inflated at 80 PSI. ??Re: Hensley Arrow tipsHard to hook up? Wow, what a bunch of negative Nancies! Never had a problem with mine, but then again I never park at a stupid angle. Enjoy the hitch, and get associated with the “bump.”Re: Electric and ICE forever together?A car salesman has no clue what the future of the ICE may or may not be. As the old saying goes, you know he’s lying when his lips are moving!Re: Alarming spalling failures on 7.3 GodzillaSure am glad I got the lifetime powertrain warranty with mine. I must confess that it is a bit noisier than I’d like on cold starts.Re: Texas Hill CountryWhat garmp said. ^
