I couldn't be happier with my '19 F250 with a 6.2 & 6-speed. I drive the wheels off my truck and it does everything I ask of it, including towing heavy loads & plowing snow. Yesterday I filled up the gas tank with $1.18/gallon gas. It cost me $35.00 for a full tank! The motor is powerful, quiet, & very responsive. I was weighing my options between gas and diesel last fall when I bought it, after 6 months of ownership I can say without a doubt that gas was the right way to go for me. (also added bonus, I've changed my oil 3 times now and it cost me $35 for oil and filter...cheap to maintain too!)

Your fuel MPG gas vs Diesel needs to include the real cost difference: the additional sales tax on the $8,000 add for the diesel upgrade over the 7.3l Gas (here in WA it is 10% or $800), the nearly $0.60 higher price per gallon of diesel (based on 3/29/20 National averages) plus the cost per gallon of the diesel required DEF fluid.

Greg Smith hey buddy have you considered buying a used diesel? I bought a 2014 F250 6.7 powerstroke king ranch a few months ago for 31k with 113,000. I was in the same situation, I live in Arizona so it gets up to 115-120 for months during the summertime,it’s even over 100 at night,I have a f150 that can tow 9,500lbs but my concern was towing during summer,plus mountains surrounding us elevation can get up to around 7,500-8,500 ft plus the heat so I was torn between a f150,F250 (gas),and F250 diesel. I went with the diesel because in the future there will be plenty of high temp high elevation towing. I typically buy vehicles 5-6yrs old I don’t buy new,I’m only 26 but I drive my vehicles to 400-500k. First truck was my uncles 81 f100 450,000 miles on it still ran great. I can do most of the maintenance only thing I’m hating is regens I live southeast of Phoenix so ends up wanting to do regens close to the house. It’s a tough decision,I think tfl said it for like 15mpg,I don’t think it’s bad my 09 5.4 3v gets best 15mpg. It just depends if buying new. Like for me and you as well I have the 6R140 transmission if for some reason the engine took a dump I could put a 6.2 gasser in it,I could put another 6.7 powerstroke, or a Cummins swap. And the truck keeps going down the road. Their is som much you can do.so if you have 400,000 on it and don’t want to get rid of it spend a few grand and put a gasser in. That’s the way I see it buddy. You think I made a good choice and purchase???

@@brianaustin6184 I do, and you did your research! I currently own an 06 F350 with the 6.0. It has 140K miles and has been towing a 38 ft toy hauler. It has been bullet proofed. I am towing between 13 and 14k with it. For its age it does pretty good. I hear you with buying used. Every vehicle I have ever owned has been used and I have been very lucky. I was really nervous with this truck but with the custom tow tunes it gave me the ability to lock out over drive which has made HUGE differences in how it tows. I will be honest I have gotten cought up in the new HP and Torque gains with these new trucks and have been going against my better judgement with purchasing new vs used....I currently do not have to deal with Def fluid and regen. I have been kicking around the idea of just keeping the ol girl and getting the trans rebuilt and beefing it up and dropping .430's in the rear end...and I would imagine that would be a world of difference between how it tows now. I keep getting close to pulling the trigger on somthing then I look at that payment vs. the appeal of no payment and I know what I have now.......and for you I am familiar with AZ and just how nasty it gets.....judging by the temps you threw out I am guessing Tuscon, Chandler Pheonix area.....so I would have gotten a diesel in your case for sure......they tend to deal better in the heat while towing in my opinion. I have towed my trailer in 115 degree weather up and down grades and I have to blow the thing up.....I am not hammering down on her either but you know what I mean.

I haul once or twice a month out to AZ which is an easy pull, then I go up to Oregon and camp out on the coast. The stretch down the 5 is easy.....but hauling through the mountain range up into Oregon is hard on my truck with the trailer fully loaded. Was thinking the gearing would take some of that stress off the drive train and motor.

Hi TFL Studios Crew hope everyone is safe. Just this week we picked up a 2020 f350 crew cab 4×2 short bed with the 6.2 v8 and 10 speed. I must say this combination really feels great. I only have 140 miles on the truck but compared to our other 2019 6.2 with the 6 speed I feel that the 6 speed transmission hurt that engine fuel economy. Just the other day on a short trip in and out of town I saw 14 mpg with the 2020.

I have the xl with stx package and the 6.7 powerstroke, coming from an f150 with the 5.0 there is no way to compare the two, the 6.7 is a beast for towing. We bought a bigger trailer and I really wanted the powerstroke, and am 100% pleased with it. We have several 6.2 at work and I've never been that impressed with it, it gets the job done but for towing the diesel is just class leading and never runs out of torque. The diesel is expensive though, I got mine as a leftover truck for a great price, if they didn't give me the deal I got I would have never went with it.

I really appreciate you guys and your reviews, I knew after watching the Ike Gauntlet videos which pickups would work for me. When I finally decided to buy a pickup to supplement my 1999 Super Duty (We love that pickup and kept it) we knew we had options and started our negotiations with that in mind. We eventually landed on a 2019 F350 and with all the incentives and our company rebates we ended up getting enough off the price to more than cover the Diesel so we decided not to wait for the Godzilla. FYI, I laughed when you said you were in Las Vegas NM...This is one of many locations I travel to in our 4 state region working for my company, its fun to tell my better half "I'm off to Vegas". Stay healthy!

The way I see it if your not towing and hauling too heavy and use the truck for the weekend to take the family on road trips and sometimes use it for work and play get the 6.2/10 speed good power and efficiency, if your towing every day especially heavy or you got a hotshot lifestyle definitely the 6.7 power stroke/10 speed , and if you got dump trucks or snowplow trucks or a business that uses those specific kinds of truck’s definitely get the 7.3 V8 strong and good power but overall it’s just my opinion , but hey get whatever your heart wants

Lol that 12,000 to 15,000 pounds is a heavy duty truck lol that is nouthing mine has done 13,900 befor driveing 2 and half hour away like a champ weighs 4,600 pounds, and my dad hauls 20,000 a day in his EcoBoost in trash business lol I can honestly say we haul alot on ower f150s and proved they are the toughest truck ... That scrap yard said mine was the biggest load they've ever seen on a half ton lol haha I guess I'm going to have to put heavy duty on mine lol or super f150 lol and 16 mpg isn't bad at all that's great I get that with a straight pipe and about 10,000 pounds that 350 is amazingly ecosport for commenting so much but I love comparing the work I can do . That dully 350 hauling 7,000 is really not alot you need to put like 50,000 on that and see what it does I can do what you guy are doing in my f150 lol I can haul 2 of those tractors and a bob cat ik I can ...might be squatting alot but ik I could do it I'm gonna get more leafspring and better shock soon I'm upgrading ik I could it that 6.7 to 0 to 60 is amazing mine gets like 9 second but I'm gonna make it faster now that I know this I'm starting to realize that heavy duty truck are the same as normal pick ups they just do huge load more efficiently I think that the reason they made the EcoBoost bc my dad has the same power as me but he gets better gas mileage I'm the completely opposite though built to burn fuel and shit so it all the depends on what your doing ,all trucks are great though just what do you exactly want and what your doing with it and we're you do want your money to go in the long run

Do all new 3/4 ton trucks weigh north of 8k lbs? My old ‘02 Duramax was about 6,800 lbs and I thought that was heavy. The weight negates much of the Ford’s advantage of an incredible 475hp/and 1k of torque. I got about 18 mpg hwy in my diesel. Not much progress in 18 years. I assume most of weight is in the now fully boxed HD frame. Could they lop off 1k lbs? PS: Where is Moab video?

It has a beefier block, better iron in the block, bigger bearings, etc. In addition the maximum torque and maximum horsepower of Ford's Diesel occurs at half the RPM, so there is much less scuffing and friction.

I couldn't be happier with my '19 F250 with a 6.2 & 6-speed. I drive the wheels off my truck and it does everything I ask of it, including towing heavy loads & plowing snow. Yesterday I filled up the gas tank with $1.18/gallon gas. It cost me $35.00 for a full tank! The motor is powerful, quiet, & very responsive. I was weighing my options between gas and diesel last fall when I bought it, after 6 months of ownership I can say without a doubt that gas was the right way to go for me. (also added bonus, I've changed my oil 3 times now and it cost me $35 for oil and filter...cheap to maintain too!)

Greg Smith hey buddy have you considered buying a used diesel? I bought a 2014 F250 6.7 powerstroke king ranch a few months ago for 31k with 113,000. I was in the same situation, I live in Arizona so it gets up to 115-120 for months during the summertime,it’s even over 100 at night,I have a f150 that can tow 9,500lbs but my concern was towing during summer,plus mountains surrounding us elevation can get up to around 7,500-8,500 ft plus the heat so I was torn between a f150,F250 (gas),and F250 diesel. I went with the diesel because in the future there will be plenty of high temp high elevation towing. I typically buy vehicles 5-6yrs old I don’t buy new,I’m only 26 but I drive my vehicles to 400-500k. First truck was my uncles 81 f100 450,000 miles on it still ran great. I can do most of the maintenance only thing I’m hating is regens I live southeast of Phoenix so ends up wanting to do regens close to the house. It’s a tough decision,I think tfl said it for like 15mpg,I don’t think it’s bad my 09 5.4 3v gets best 15mpg. It just depends if buying new. Like for me and you as well I have the 6R140 transmission if for some reason the engine took a dump I could put a 6.2 gasser in it,I could put another 6.7 powerstroke, or a Cummins swap. And the truck keeps going down the road. Their is som much you can do.so if you have 400,000 on it and don’t want to get rid of it spend a few grand and put a gasser in. That’s the way I see it buddy. You think I made a good choice and purchase???

@@brianaustin6184 I do, and you did your research! I currently own an 06 F350 with the 6.0. It has 140K miles and has been towing a 38 ft toy hauler. It has been bullet proofed. I am towing between 13 and 14k with it. For its age it does pretty good. I hear you with buying used. Every vehicle I have ever owned has been used and I have been very lucky. I was really nervous with this truck but with the custom tow tunes it gave me the ability to lock out over drive which has made HUGE differences in how it tows. I will be honest I have gotten cought up in the new HP and Torque gains with these new trucks and have been going against my better judgement with purchasing new vs used....I currently do not have to deal with Def fluid and regen. I have been kicking around the idea of just keeping the ol girl and getting the trans rebuilt and beefing it up and dropping .430's in the rear end...and I would imagine that would be a world of difference between how it tows now. I keep getting close to pulling the trigger on somthing then I look at that payment vs. the appeal of no payment and I know what I have now.......and for you I am familiar with AZ and just how nasty it gets.....judging by the temps you threw out I am guessing Tuscon, Chandler Pheonix area.....so I would have gotten a diesel in your case for sure......they tend to deal better in the heat while towing in my opinion.

Just the other day on a short trip in and out of town I saw 14 mpg with the 2020.

I have the xl with stx package and the 6.7 powerstroke, coming from an f150 with the 5.0 there is no way to compare the two, the 6.7 is a beast for towing. We bought a bigger trailer and I really wanted the powerstroke, and am 100% pleased with it. We have several 6.2 at work and I've never been that impressed with it, it gets the job done but for towing the diesel is just class leading and never runs out of torque. The diesel is expensive though, I got mine as a leftover truck for a great price, if they didn't give me the deal I got I would have never went with it.
I really appreciate you guys and your reviews, I knew after watching the Ike Gauntlet videos which pickups would work for me. When I finally decided to buy a pickup to supplement my 1999 Super Duty (We love that pickup and kept it) we knew we had options and started our negotiations with that in mind. We eventually landed on a 2019 F350 and with all the incentives and our company rebates we ended up getting enough off the price to more than cover the Diesel so we decided not to wait for the Godzilla. FYI, I laughed when you said you were in Las Vegas NM...This is one of many locations I travel to in our 4 state region working for my company, its fun to tell my better half "I'm off to Vegas". Stay healthy!
The way I see it if your not towing and hauling too heavy and use the truck for the weekend to take the family on road trips and sometimes use it for work and play get the 6.2/10 speed good power and efficiency, if your towing every day especially heavy or you got a hotshot lifestyle definitely the 6.7 power stroke/10 speed , and if you got dump trucks or snowplow trucks or a business that uses those specific kinds of truck’s definitely get the 7.3 V8 strong and good power but overall it’s just my opinion , but hey get whatever your heart wants

Lol that 12,000 to 15,000 pounds is a heavy duty truck lol that is nouthing mine has done 13,900 befor driveing 2 and half hour away like a champ weighs 4,600 pounds, and my dad hauls 20,000 a day in his EcoBoost in trash business lol I can honestly say we haul alot on ower f150s and proved they are the toughest truck ... That scrap yard said mine was the biggest load they've ever seen on a half ton lol haha I guess I'm going to have to put heavy duty on mine lol or super f150 lol and 16 mpg isn't bad at all that's great I get that with a straight pipe and about 10,000 pounds that 350 is amazingly ecosport for commenting so much but I love comparing the work I can do . That dully 350 hauling 7,000 is really not alot you need to put like 50,000 on that and see what it does I can do what you guy are doing in my f150 lol I can haul 2 of those tractors and a bob cat ik I can ...might be squatting alot but ik I could do it I'm gonna get more leafspring and better shock soon I'm upgrading ik I could it that 6.7 to 0 to 60 is amazing mine gets like 9 second but I'm gonna make it faster now that I know this I'm starting to realize that heavy duty truck are the same as normal pick ups they just do huge load more efficiently I think that the reason they made the EcoBoost bc my dad has the same power as me but he gets better gas mileage I'm the completely opposite though built to burn fuel and shit so it all the depends on what your doing ,all trucks are great though just what do you exactly want and what your doing with it and we're you do want your money to go in the long run

Besides, you're TFL and people enjoy seeing the visuals you offer. The real world views and reviews adds to the buying choices. I was not even aware the base was 33K +. That is a LOT of money in my opinion for a basic entry level. Ranchers and the likes that just need a work horse sure have to pay big bucks these days.
Not sure if you guys have done this but same hill, same weight, same truck, only difference is rear axel ratio and see how drastic the difference really is, because manufacturers will change tow capacity by a couple thousand pounds just by changing the rear axel ratio

Ford's literature says the 7.3 is not compatible with E85 gas This is a problem in that way too many gas stations only offer E85. Having to visit stations which may or may not have gasoline that's compatible with the 7.3 will be a hassle
Great content!

Judging from their Ike Gauntlet runs with the two of them, If my recollection is correct, it's a pretty big performance jump with the 7.3.

As someone that's gone from a 6.2 to the 7.3 it's night and day. The 7.3 is soooo much more powerful plus it gets the same if not slightly better fuel mileage
What would you all choose for a part time travel trailer tow? 8Klbs, 29’
Unless I was towing day in an day out, 4-6 daze a week I’d be satisfied with the new 7.3 Godzilla Engine! But for an occasional vacation towing my 5,500 lbs travel trailer the diesel is unwarranted! Not when the gas engines have so much hp an tq!
Nice and informative, too bad the 2020 trucks are out of production for only God knows how long, and the existing 2020 Suoerduty's might actually become collectors items (the lowest production number for a year).
Hey TFL, I recently saw a video, where a guy bought a brand new 2021 F-150 Limited in white. Gorgeous. However 1,000 miles into it he noticed some serious rusting of the differentiate, axle, and most of "VITAL" components of the truck. Can you do a video addressing that? I was thinking of buying one till I saw that.
7 3L needs a turbo or a supercharger...

I am also looking at the f250 or f350 as a truck camper. Frankly the options are a bit exhausting. Go with better MPG via the diesel? Save $10K and possibly some headaches, via the standard V8? Split the difference via the new Godzilla V8? I care about payload, mpg, fx4 off road package, and overall cost(s).

Not getting a Ford Super Duty until the Death Wobble is addressed. No one wants to talk about that. I love the F350 and F450 design and power choices but I am not buying until that is resolved. I am actually looking at the GM products now because the Ram Dually looks like crap. Everybody hating on the GM frontend, but I like it.

Do you know what the fuel milage is in litres per 100 for how the Canadian trucks measure it?
Enjoy your vids and great content. You do need a sound editor. The entire vid I was jockeying my sound control. Too loud or I can't hear. Don't take offense, constructive criticism is all.
I see that you did an Ike Gauntlet run and a fuel economy run in blizzard conditions. Does that make the numbers worse or better than if it were run in dry conditions. I guess if you ran all the makes in crappy weather it would yield like results.

Do all new 3/4 ton trucks weigh north of 8k lbs? My old ‘02 Duramax was about 6,800 lbs and I thought that was heavy. The weight negates much of the Ford’s advantage of an incredible 475hp/and 1k of torque. I got about 18 mpg hwy in my diesel. Not much progress in 18 years. I assume most of weight is in the now fully boxed HD frame. Could they lop off 1k lbs? PS: Where is Moab video?

That would be wonderful, But I doubt 500k miles could be achieved with any substantial towing. That's where the Diesel will shine. It has a beefier block, better iron in the block, bigger bearings, etc. In addition the maximum torque and maximum horsepower of Ford's Diesel occurs at half the RPM, so there is much less scuffing and friction.

Ford. And I'm a Ram 3500 owner. For me it's Cummins/AISIN for the I6ness for the 1 ton space and Ford or even Chevy in the 3/4 and below. Ram is okay but too Chrysler-y which is almost never a good thing. They have absolute beast interiors though. IOW I will do and have done Ford for half tons, would do either GM or Ford 3/4, and like Ram for the 1 ton (because the drivetrain isn't Ram at all when you get the HO).
Ford needs an update on the 6.2l . GMs 6.6 is much stronger and Rams 6.4 hemi is also supposed to be stronger than the Ford. I know the 7.3 is the top dog for gas but the 6.2 could be revamped/ refreshed a bit.

Modern Diesel is an expensive PITA whether you need it or not, so you're better off not getting it if you don't actually need it.
