2020 Ford 7.3 and GM 6.6 gas engines

[bod]

Anyone have either one yet if so what do you think about them.

[jackelope]

Haven’t seen a 7.3 gasser on the lot yet.

One of my customers has changed his ford fleet out of diesels to gas. Everyone but his  450. I'll bet money that he is completely changed over soon.

You can tempt fate and put delete kitsch on personal rigs but the juice isnt woth the squeeze on the commercial end.

Really the juice isn't worth the squeeze on private vehicles either, unless your just a truck enthusiast or are in the very small percentage of people whom actually tow heavy with their diesels.

I was going to wait on the 7.3 gasser before I bought a truck, but I want to let it have a few years to work the bugs out. I figure in 5 years or so I will leave my 6.7 for another gasser, unless they do something dramatic with emissions between then and now to make them more reliable.

I went back to gas in 2008. Wanted nothing to do with the 6.0. It really hasn't been a big deal, don't miss the diesel much. Good buddy who farms is certain he's going gas when his beloved 7.3 powerstroke finally croaks. Looking forward to hearing reviews on the 7.3 gas!

I've got multiple large construction companies with hundreds of vehicles going away from diesel all together.  All the new emissions crap is no good for these trucks when they're sitting and running at idle for 75% of the day.

I bought older low miles 2006 cummins because of new diesel crap.  It isn't as fancy but man has it been near perfect.  Not in shop yet.  40k trouble free miles so far.  Oil and fuel. I have no emissions 400+hp 800+Tq, what else does a guy need?  16mpg+ and manual trans.  I wanted no part of new stuff.  The new ford 7.3 gas has at least got my attention though!  Smart move by Ford if ya ask me.  I think new diesels will see less and less sales...  Ecoboost is sign of future gas engines.  Imagine a 5.0 ecoboost?!?  F350 5.0 eco 500hp and 700tq is doable!

99% of the people don't need it. You probably don't even "need" it.

I think you're spot on with your other theories too.

I left having a diesel. I don’t tow enough to justify the 30+ thousand more for a truck

Are they more reliable if you minimize the idling time?

Have they given any mileage stats on the new 7.3 gasser yet??

The problem is emissions stuff. You’ve got to run them to regen and burn themselves clean. So if you have a construction company guy driving a truck with a bunch of emissions stuff home every day on the freeway it’s probably fine. If it’s a yard  truck or that truck doesn’t get driven enough, that’s where you have problems.  These guys fire their trucks in the morning and shut them off at the end of the day.  They get out of the weather in them, have meetings in them, they’re making power, whatever. They never shut them off. They’re idling literally all day.

That was my assumption.... nope

The manufacturers won't. They're in a heavier class of vehicle so they're not required to post their fuel mileage.
