I have just over 10,000 miles on my 2024 F350 SRW 6.7 HO Platinum Tremor and right at 3,000 miles of 5th wheel towing. I tow a Brinkley Z3610 fully maxed out payload wise for the Brinkley and also for the truck’s payload of 3,868. We are 18,000 pounds fully loaded for 10 day trips. I tend to drive pretty quick at 70 to 75 miles an hour since they are a commercial, rated tires and feel pretty confident. At that speed I get 8.9 to 9.1 miles in a gallon, depending on the hills. Driving from Dallas to Ruidoso, New Mexico I got 8.9 driving from Dallas to the 30A area of Florida I got 9.1. On this trip going from Florida to Dallas, I got airbags and this was the first trip with them and the chugging that comes along with a gooseneck was 100% gone, shockingly gone, at 50 psi it was gone. At 20 psi in the air bags and when driving on concrete roads, it would chug it ass off a, just like without them, a violent feeling of chug. There is a small difference with how it feels unloaded as far as the airbags go, however the trade-off as well worth it in my opinion. The truck hold 10th gear most of the and drop to 8th gear when it gets to a hill of 1% or greater. When towing it drinks the DEF some where around 1 gallon per 150 miles otherwise I can go 1,000 miles it seems like on a gallon of DEF. I wouldn’t trade the truck for anything. I nearly got a the F450 but decided not to because I like car washes and drive-through.

Awesome comment. What a setup. How do you like the. Brinkley ? They look incredible.

I’ve had both it’s hard to give up the 6.7 once you’ve had one. I’m back in a 6.7 now. I agree for reliability go gas, for the enthusiast go diesel

Perfect point!

I tow heavy regularly with my 22 king ranch 7.3 4.30 gears. It tows almost as well as my low mile 2008 cummins on 100hp tune. Grossing 32k on the same long hill the cummins losses 2 mph gas losses 4 to 5 mph both are wide open. Fuel economy cummins 8.5 to 9 mpg and gas 5 to 6 . Short trip rual towing at 60mph.

I believe it. They are such an awesome engine.

Great Video! My 24 250 Lariat Tremor just came in with the 7.3 and I pick her up today. So excited. Looks identical to the one you just did a video of with the antimatter blue. Only thing I wish is it didn’t have carpet😂. Cheers!

Hope you enjoy it!

I’ve always preferred gassers over diesels mainly for their simplicity and the power has improved over the years. That 7.3 is what I have on the F-350 XLT Tremor I ordered, front cloth buckets and rubberized floor for durability. I too was surprised with rear leafs between a regular 250 and 250 Tremor also being the first truck I will own with rear leaf springs coming from a Power Wagon with rear link suspension. I got to test a regular 6.7 and 7.3 earlier this year and quite frankly the Godzilla feels right on the money, for my intended use that is and I just love trucks with big gas engines. The 6.7 on the other hand also has s lot of power but I don’t tow heavy enough to justify having one.

That’s a nice truck you got. I love the rubber floor! 7.3 has impressed me a lot. Stay tuned. The next two videos in this series you might enjoy!

I like my 23 6.7 HO ex LF350 regular cab 8 foot bed the only thing I would notice climbing in mountains and winding roads is the lag of upshifting climbing mountains either clearing trailers or not caring trailers that I have to put into manual configurations do you so for sure is my choice I don’t think he would see much of a difference between a 430 and a 373 other than power takeoff thanks for sharing

I would say for around town gas is your choice but for interstate highway driving diesel would be your choice because of the weight in the front is he more stable Drive in the power is undeniably supreme

Perhaps diesel but save by not getting Tremor package

That’s a great alternative too. You will like the next few videos coming in the series!

I have 2023 Ram 350 HO 6.7.. It is good for me, but for my future trucks, I will take the gas engine to lowering the cost. Why don't you compare F350 7.3 gas to F350 6.7. Regular unlead gas is $1 cheaper per gallon than buying the diesels at all other cheap gas stations.

i have 24 7.3 gas 350. its not a lariat its a plaitum 3998 payload on mine. price was 84,450.

I would take the powerstroke. Not a fan of the turdzilla engine

Ford truck front ends are so ugly. I hope they change the design soon. The 19' lariat front ends were WAY better. I also wish they didn't dip the driver and pass window sills for the mirrors. Most useless and ugliest design I ever seen.

I think they started the dip for the mirror on the super duty in 1999. Then they started it in the F150 in 2004.

Define how it’s useless.

Put a supercharger on the 7.3 Liter V8 would be awesome to get more horsepower and torque
