    I have a 21’ f350; 7.3 l , 3:73 . Currently on a 8 week snowbird trip . Starting in Portland OR and traveling thru Ca then east thru Az, NV and back. LOTS of mountain passes and hills. ~ 3k miles so far. Towing a 7400# tt . Averaging 10.3 mpg. Includes a 90 mile stretch with 35-45 mph head winds plus a 250 mile leg with 15-20 mph side winds. Friend with us in a 2019 Chevy Duramax diesel weighing ~800# more is getting ~1.5mpg better. Not enough difference to justify the $10k additional cost up front nor the 40 to 90 cents a gallon more for diesel this trip. We both go up & down the same hills with ease. If I was towing over ~13k-14k then I might take the jump. Rarely turn over 3k rpm’s . 1600rpm’s when flat cruising at 62-64 mph in 9th gear.

    Thanks for sharing your results on your trip. It’s good to hear that your Godzilla engine gives you lots of headroom in towing. The one thing we noticed when we test drove both the Godzilla and the diesel was just how much quieter the Godzilla was over the diesel driving around town.

    That is my spec truck on paper and you are pulling just about the same size and weight as my 5th wheel, so this is a very valuable demo. Current truck is a 99 F-350 dually 7.3 and I had an issue in the Rockies. I could pull a grade no problem, it was the switch backs that killed me. The 4.10s with a 4 speed only gave so many speeds to run without the torque converter slipping and cooking the tranny fluid. Slowly down to 10-15 mph on some turns made it a struggle to keep the transmission happy. That 10-speed would have been extremely useful.

    Great video! congrats on the new 5'er. Im kind of on the edge with my 19 F350 6.7L, we're towing a 43ft long 5'er with a loaded weight somewhere in the 14000lb range and it tows it just fine and under all the numbers. I added Timbrens only to stop a little trailer rocking coming to a stop. We're in NWPA so there's more hills (and some steep inclines) than flat roads and getting anything from 11-14mpg, just wish diesel would go down a bit.

    I guess what counts is that you are happy. I've owned a few gas motors last one being supercharged 426 Hemi in a RAM (built motor pushing over 650 hp/tq at wheels). Towed same trailer with stock 5.7 hemi, built 426, and finally with F-450 diesel. There is no comparison. It's not just about the torque numbers but where those numbers land on the RPM graph. Again - I'm glad you are happy and I know these new 10 speeds offer a better towing experience (less over-revving to allow downshift, etc) the ultimate experience is with a diesel. Once you get used to that everything else is just not gonna cut it.

The tow rating is for more than what I’m pulling and it honestly did fine. Plus, I don’t have to fool with DEF and higher diesel prices. Let alone the higher initial cost. Also I don’t tow all day everyday so a diesel just didn’t make sense. I love this truck!

    I had the same year truck in a Lariat, with 4:10 gears. The 7.3 is one fine motor. In 21, I bought an F350 dually to tow a heavier 5th wheel. I enjoy the stability of the extra width and tire in the rear, and the diesel just flat out rips. Generally speaking, the 7.3 just won't last anywhere close to as long as a diesel before wearing out.

    Finally the answer I was looking for. I have towed 11k with a 98.5 cummins for twenty years and have wondered how it would compare to the 7.3 gas. I have towed in California and back and forth to Oregon from Montana. I can't ever remember being under 45mph pulling up hills. That's with 3.54 gears. Your probably 1000 lbs heavier than my truck and trailer due to the weight of your truck so 45mph on a hill is just fine.

    Even making only 7-8 mpg it would take 10-15 years of ownership to pay for the extra initial cost of the diesel engine, and that’s not including the extra costs for oil changes (2x amount of oil), fuel filters and DEF for the diesel, which would extend that break even point even further. I owned a Duramax for 11 years and I get it, but a diesel isn’t necessary in most RV situations unless you tow a heavy 5’er or a full-timer towing 30K+ miles a year.

Both trucks did well, I went with the diesel because I’m planning on buying a larger fifth wheel in near future. Drove the duramax down to Florida from Canada approximately 4000 miles and averages around 10-11 mpg which isn’t a huge difference from the gasser but the Duramax does have a lot more juice going through higher grades.

    I would lock it into 8th gear when towing so it doesn’t gear hunt so much. Might help your fuel mileage more because everytime it downshifts from 9 to 8th, it’s giving the truck more throttle. I’ve noticed gas fords seem to do best when locked out of 9 and 10th. Also was wondering what gears your truck has. Seems to tow well considering it has that much weight behind it

    Just as an FYI ... I tried the lock out of 9 & 10 for the last 600-700 miles of our trip (total of about 4200). Mpg's didn't really change much. I put it "M" and didn't let it get below ~2100 RPM's as well. much better performance gong up hills . Like you said, I have questioned the throttle response as it seems as it downshifts 2 gears at a time. IMHO it must be using a lot of throttle to hold a gear before downshifting(?). I kept the same pressure on the gas peddle but would manually downshift as the RPM's would drop below ~2100 rpm's. I had a lot less drop & variance in speed with the same mpg's.

    I live in CO and towing something that big over the Rockies would be askin' for it. You need a rig with balls and diesel is the only way to go. If you live in Kansas, a gasser would be suffice.

I have an 88 chevy with a 454 that does a good job with my camper. Can I pass a diesel truck up a steep, long grade?- - - Not a chance. Lol!

    Do gas engines hold up well pulling that much weight regularly? I wanna get a 7.3 f 250 and pull an 11’000 lb trailer but I’m concerned it is too much stress to pull that much weight regularly on a gas v8.

    @@VT990 The new 7.3 is designed to go into stuff like motorhomes, dumptrucks, things that used to traditionally be diesel. It'll do just fine pulling 11,000 pounds although a diesel would probably do it better. The thing with diesels is that the EPA is requiring so much crap to be included on diesels these days that it's usually not worth the maintenance cost anymore IMO. Lots of fleets are switching over to gas for that reason too.

    Well diesel is already at $4.55 a gallon in my area at the time of this comment and gas is at $3.45 it seems like a wash to me. Most diesels don't get that great of fuel mileage when they're towing anyway. I'll take a gas engine over diesel any day with the added cost of maintenance and just the fact of around $10k more on the sticker price no thank you.

    In my opinion you’re always better off with a turbo. I say diesel is the way to go to offset depreciation. That gasser with 100k on it isn’t worth nearly as much as a diesel with 100k on it. That mpg is terrible as well. My 6.7L stock gets 11.8 towing my 5er at 68mph. Have gone from NJ to Maine and to Florida and back. I have a Cougar 364bhl for reference. Next time get a diesel. It’s worth it. Stock 6.7 has 440hp and like 860lbf of torque. Naturally aspirated engines can’t compare in while towing. I mean this stuff with all do respect but if you’re doing a comparison trying to say the 7.3 gas is better. 9mpg, can’t use all the gears, 45mph up a hill and the price tag. You just sold someone a powerstroke.

    The issue with modern diesels is DEF. They are unreliable and when they fail it’s $$$ to fix. I wouldn’t delete the DEF either because depending on your state you will need it to pass a smog test. That said, diesel is great if you are towing heavy and running distances so the DEF has a chance to do its job, but if you occasionally tow, and use the diesel as a grocery getter, the 7.3 gasser is a better option.
