I have an F350 7.3 with long bed. Godzilla has all kinds of power. No need for a diesel if you are pulling under 17,000 pounds of loaded trailer. Love this guy when he says “don’t doubt it”. That’s confident experience speaking.

I am still loving my choice to switch to a gasser. Over 10,000 miles and still happy.

We really like our 7.3 so far! We’ve owned it about a month now, and made a few videos about it. We’ve towed our 5th wheel with it and been very impressed. We’re coming from a diesel - and I have no regrets. We have been averaging higher mpg than you. 15-17 unloaded. Around 10-11 when towing the trailer. We have the 3.73 gears. Thanks for the video. Great info!

I think the Ford 7.3 gas engine is the best on the market for sure. I know they’ve had some other issues but hopefully it will hold up nicely. That is one beautiful trailer you have for your toys. I have a 6.7 Cummins HO and just drove 960 miles from Eastern Oregon back to Colorado and I was able to average 10.4 towing our Toy Hauler empty which is 10k. Thanks for the video.

good deal. Ive had 2 newer 6.7's and neither got much better mileage while towing. Just had mor power available if needed. The 7.3 will get the job done just fine.

Have been happy with mine other than it eating transmissions. Ford may be buying it back most likely. Debating weather to buy another for roughly 70 for comparable to what I have or bump up to a 450 for another 8 grand and have a lot more truck but more importantly I just feel it will hold value much better.
