2020 Ford 7.3 and GM 6.6 gas engines

[C-Money]

Mudman that is great to hear about the new 7.3 gas. I sure like how the new Ford trucks look. They are as nice looking as they have been since the mid 90s. Nephew just got a 2018 F150 with the 5.0, and inside and out, its a very nice pickup.

These guys test new trucks out on the Ike gauntlet. Here they are testing the new 7.3 pulling 16,000 pounds. It smoked the new 6.6 chevy by 3 minutes. Looks like its going to be a towing machine.

And with some bolt ons there adding another 200hp

Oh wow, that video was pretty good. The Ford 7.3 marched right up that pass! I'm gonna buy a few mega millions and see if I can go down and pick one up!

2.2 MPG. That trailer better be full of gas!

The new DI 6.6 GM gas motor is a little puzzling, but maybe not given its intended purpose. 

The GM 6.6 gas motor has 20 less HP than their 6.2 and the same torque.  They have the same bore size but obviously the 6.6 has a little longer stroke.  The 6.6 is a iron block with aluminium heads versus aluminium block and heads for their 6.2.  Compression on the 6.6 is also lower than that of the 6.2.

It seems GM designed the 6.6 gas motor more for heavy working and longevity but I'm a little surprised they didn't build more power into them.  Only time will tell, but I think the new Ford 7.3 gas motor will be the stronger choice.

I doubt my 6.7 would get an appreciable amount more pulling the same load up the same hill.

Heres another video if you want to watch the new diesels to that pull test. The diesels were at about 2.4 MPG but they were pulling 30,000lbs.

I think they should have gone with a big block rather than the small block. I’d love to see an updated version of the 8.1 I have in my pickup.
