I work in the RV industry and the 7.3 gasser has been replacing the Triton V10 in most ford chassis motor homes. I gotta say there is a noticeable upgrade in torque and these have no issue getting up to highway speed. I would take the 7.3 all day. It's the best non-diesel option out of ANY manufacturer.

[bradsurvive]

I got the diesel because I love diesels. Some people want to justify why you should/shouldn’t buy gas or diesel, large or small pickups. Yes, I know I don’t need a diesel, but I wanted it and I could afford it, so I bought it. Isn’t capitalism great!

My brother has been a diesel fan since his first 7.3 IDI. He currently has a 6.7 Powerstroke and needed another heavy hauler. After pricing the 6.7 PS vs the 7.3 Godizilla (initial price, maintenance, mileage, etc) he ordered a 7.3.

All of the modern push-rod gas engines are really impressive compared to 20 years ago. The 7.3 Godzilla, the 6.4 Hemi, and the 6.6 LT are all well built durable, dependable engines. I agree that most people don’t really need a diesel, even though they think they do. We have a ranch operation in Montana and we have replaced all the diesels with gas. If it takes two trips with the gas, you’re right, it’s still cheaper than operating the diesel.

I have a 22 F350 7.3 with 4.3 gears long bed. Getting a 31 foot 5th wheel. I obviously didn't buy this for MPG. I had a 21 HD2500 with the diesel. When I was pulling a 29 ft 5th wheel with a full DEF tank I got a message that I had 50 miles of DEF left. Within 20 miles truck went into limp mode. Interesting experience on the interstate while towing. Had it repaired and traded to a gas. Loved the power of the diesel bur very very happy with the 7.3.

Good, honest, real world review . Well done. Too many people don’t realize that when you add features, you decrease payload/ towing numbers. The hero truck everyone advertises that tows 35, 000-37, 000 lbs is a bare bones truck that in reality no one wants. I’ve heard great things about the 7.3 gas Motor, 👍

[joeparker]

I gave my 22 yr old V10 F250 to my son after i bought the 7 3 zilla. My V10 never broke down, pulled everything i threw at it.
The 7.3 is awesome. Very impressed so far.

I just bought the same truck but in silver. I love it so far. The xlt had all the features I wanted so I saved some money not getting the lariat. We tow a 28’ TT and can’t wait to hook it up to this truck. I previously owned a 2012 f150 with the 3.5 engine. I loved that truck and had no problems with the motor. I was within the safe towing limits for my truck with the trailer but you could tell the truck was working. I feel like the f250 with the 7.3l is a more solid platform for towing that size trailer.

I agree with you. I own a 15 Ram 2500 with tye 6.4 hemi. It's the Tradesman, so it's the bottom level trim. I ordered it with a 4.10 gearing and 4x4. They say the towing capacity is 18.5k. When I do tow, it's barely 11k. Tractor, bushhog, disc harrows, and the trailer. It performs great. I really like that Ford you got there. Good looking truck.

Nice vid!
Similar to my thought process between choosing 3.0L Duramax and gas F150 (I wasn’t bound to a brand). Even in Bc where diesel is about price of 93 (not too much worse than 87), the price/use/maint/etc made a gas-engine a clearer choice.
Lots of folks simply say “ya gotta have a diesel” and they’re definitely cool, lol! But these modern gas engines are pretty amazing.

[Adamthebuilder]

I just hit 11, 000 on my 22 7.3 and it has been great so far! I’ve had a lot of weight in the bed so far but not much towing yet however it feels so solid and planted, you can’t tell the weight is there. It’s great to see that others are enjoying the engine as much as i am and I hope you have many more enjoyable miles out of the truck!

[lifebehindbars]

I’m a diesel fan (F450) and I tow a 43 foot toy hauler as a full time RVer. If I wasn’t a full timer I’d probably still buy the diesel, because there’s no substitute for driving a mini locomotive. Lol. I sure can respect the modern gas engine though. Maybe when my full time days are over and I’m not towing as much I’ll take one for a test drive. I appreciate seeing what people think about the different motors and trucks in general, and I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[makingitmine]

The Godzilla is an amazing engine and you’re spot on with your review. We tow our 11, 500 pound 5th wheel without any issues. By the way I had to do a double take when you pulled into my neighborhood. Apparently we are neighbors! 😂

[roadglide]

I got. 2021 F-350 SuperCab 7.3, 4.30 gears, FX4, STX . Luv it !

[fastfordman]

Awesome video. I haven’t driven a 7.3 gas truck yet. I took a big ass Uhaul towing a 1990 Honda accord from LA to Phx. It had the 6.8 v10. At the legal speed limit in California, 55 mph, it was getting 13 miles to the gallon, fully loaded and towing once we got into Arizona that engine had no problem cruising with that load at almost triple digit speeds but only getting 8 mpg at 80 mph. I must say my 2000 F250 super duty 7.3 powerstroke will always hold a dear place in my heart and I think it was even stronger pulling then the V 10 6.8, but it was definitely close I’m not sure I would ever be able to give any love to the 7.3 gas engine maybe someday I’ll have the opportunity to romp on one as a loaded moving truck. 👍

[willardivins]

This was my exact thought process and research result for my new truck purchase. A year into owning my '22 F350 Lariat long bed, I'm very happy with my decision to get the Godzilla over the diesel, for all the reasons you stated.

[DavidBrown-jtyi]

I think you are 99% correct here BUT… The only thing for me is running up and down large grades the diesel makes things easier and the engine brakes are really really nice, especially on the Cummins. My RV maxed out fully loaded is 14k and rolling up steep grades and back down in the intermountain west is breeze in a diesel truck. I’m not saying you can’t do that in a 7.3 because you absolutely can. I’m saying the diesel makes me feel more confident on the up and the down. The cost and maintenance on a diesel is not cheap so I do most of the things I can myself. Thanks for the video.

[justinm]

Well said. I'm done with deisel just from the extra def and maintaince costs. And you forgot to mention if this brake and a desel how much it costs. My next welding rig will be a gas but not sure if gm or ford

[curtisschneider]

I agree. I built mine online as an XLT F350 Superduty, 14, 000 GVWR. 7.3 gas/10speed combo, crew cab, 8' box, 4WD, heavy front suspension, dually, with gooseneck hitch. My only other splurges were the all around camera system, upfitter switches, spray-on bedliner and folding bed cover. All in all an amazing combination of power, function and utility without all the fluff...not even carpeting, all for under $57K!! My brother, a diesel mechanic of 35+ years steered me away from the diesel option as I don't tow heavy often enough to warrant it. He was absolutely correct as the maintenance and upfront cost can't be made up without towing for a living. The fuel mileage difference is negligible as well, given the difference in fuel cost. I pull a 32', 12 ton deckover gooseneck trailer full of heavy equipment on occasion, with no power issues at all...not even in the hills, thanks to the 10 speed. Although empty, it rides like a lumber truck, I couldn't be more happy with it.

Excellent excellent!!!! That's just what I tell them, you hit all the good points. The dollar/ mile deal is something that a lot of people are not seeing it
