The 6.7 had a 18% better mpg number over the 7.3. In my area of the country diesel is 30% more expensive than 87 octane gas. Advantage 7.3. Also the tremor isn't the best towing option in the Super Duty lineup, increased ride height, 4.30s and larger AT tires, both contribute to lower mpg figures.

I know everyone likes what they bought; but having had numerous trucks & RV's over 45 years, i went to gas. Currently towing 8400# tt with a '21 F350,7.3l , 3.73 rear. Tows great with no lack of power going thru the hills & mtns of the Pacific NW & Sisique's as well as the Grapevine & Tehachapi pass in Ca. Rarely use my brakes going down any long hills as well. A recent 4k trip to Az with a camp buddy who runs a diesel with similar tt from Portland thru some serious hills averaged ~1 to1.5 mpg's better than myself. He was also paying $0.50- $1 more per gal and added DEF. His engine cost $10k more as well. I got 10.3mpg he was 11.0 to 11.5; at 62-64 mph. I use tow/haul mode but will manually shift going up or down hills & mtns to avoid 'skip' shift & stay in the torque range. I say get what you want, but a diesel may not be what you need.

I ordered my XLT Tremor 7.3 primarily to be my daily driver/long distance driver, that said I'm coming from a Power Wagon as I previously mentioned on your other video. My biggest gripe with my 2018 Ram was it's laughable towing and payload capacity. I didn't even looked at the towing capacity of the F-350 and the F-250 Tremor I originally ordered then I saw the official rating and holy cow was I in for a surprise! Long-term I don't have to worry about towing or payload anymore granted I also be reasonable with my truck making it work as a truck at some point.

Excellent comparison and two exceptionally nice tow vehicles. I always wonder what folks mean about a truck "working hard" or not "working hard"? Also often wonder why folks worry about an automatic transmission shifting more or less frequently. When did it become so difficult to shift an automatic transmission? That is the entire point of having multiple gears, so that the truck can figure out the best one for each situation and use it. Actually I have been towing a trailer about that size and weight for more than 25,000 miles now with a 2015 F150 3.5 Ecoboost. Did the job beautifully. It had the 6 speed, and while towing in tow/haul mode it would move around between 4th and 6th, and over all those miles I averaged right about 9.8mpg while towing. No complaints there. I just upgraded a couple of weeks ago to a 2022 F150 Powerboost. Tows very similar to the old one, and based on only 500 miles or so of towing so far it seems to get about the same gas mileage. It supposedly has more HP and torque than the Ecoboost, but in real world towing it feels pretty much the same. In Tow/Haul mode it spends most of its time in 8th, but I am working with a pretty tiny sample size with only 3 travel days yet. Happy travels and continued safe towing.

Yes. Absolutely. That was the conclusion that I came to when I sold my Dodge 3500 and bought the gas Ford. What I found, in my experience only, yours may differ, was that towing the same trailer over very much the same route, the mpg favored the diesel by .2 mpg. The unloaded mpg is where the diesel puts distance between the two. I could get about 22 in my diesel (2004) and I am about 13 or so in the 7.3 empty. The Ford is also a heavier truck unloaded, and running 35's with 4:30 gears. A non tremor f250 with 3:45 gears (I think) will be getting closer to 15 or 16. I will say this though: while a gasser will never be on the same playing field with a diesel for power, the 10 speed transmission really narrowed the gap to the point of usable/needed power (power demanded for the pilots out there) in 98% of the cases is achievable with the gasser. So the extra 500 ft lbs of torque is rarely used or needed. It is fun though... The real downside with the gasser is the need to rev out the engine to get to the needed powerband, and the frequency of shifts to keep it where it needs to be.

Appreciate the road test. I’m not married to any maker of truck. The diesel is smooth and minimal down shift, due to the Turbo! Otherwise diesel would be a turtle lol without boost. You’re comparing diesel turbo to a naturally aspirated 7.3 V8; I have towed over a 100 TT’s with every truck out there. Then back in 2019 I was given a new 3.5 F150 Ecoboost towing a 25TB Airstream from FLA to North Carolina. I felt as if it were in a diesel, learning that it’s the boost that made it so smooth. So from all my experiences with trucks. I now have my own F150 2.7 Ecoboost but I tow way less TT. Yet it’s my everyday driver and average in the city with the A/C on all day here in Miami, FL 17.5-18.2 mpg’s.. And I’m downtown Miami or downtown Coral Gables. I also had the 2.7 Turbomax GMC Elevation. And did slightly better in mpg’s at Hwy speeds but in city it was worse 16.-17.1 mpg’s. But I feel the F150 just felt better overall in comparison and enjoy the big side windows. The RAM is one of my favorite in the Hemi; yet became dated in lacking Boost and 10 spd trans etc. And since I can only own one truck; I went what works for me when towing and decent city mpg’s. Thankfully RAM got on board but due to pressure to meet EPA standards etc. Great Vid …. Thanks

this compare is a little off. should have just let the F250 do the trans hunting, yes, it does affect MPG, but the compare isnt fair when you didnt play with the trans on the 2500. Also, the weights were also off, you ran with over 1/2 tank of fuel on the 2500 and only 1/4 tank of fuel on the F250, which matters. Instant MPG is useless. Lets also talk about fuel up frequency and difficulty. F250 you get stuck in the gas lanes, 2500 you can use truck lanes. Re-sale value > Diesel. Longevity > Diesel. Fuel cost? I would say fairly even. Put 10k on both trucks and see the GIANT difference in performance between the two. 7k is nothing for either of these trucks. Even though not a 1:1 comparison, still an ok one. Also, terrain matters, come out west and do this compare, diesel outperforms all day long.

Thank you for the comments. I put both trucks in cruise. I own the Cummins. I think you will enjoy video video number 3 coming soon!

The longevity argument is a relic from 20 years ago. That’s no longer an advantage for diesels with all the emissions crap on them. I have a F350 with the 7.3 and pulled a 28’ enclosed (35’ overall length) cargo trailer from Sacramento to San Diego and the truck stop argument is spot on. I had to be very carful and deliberate on where to fuel up. Had my co-driver looking up satellite images of upcoming gas stations to make sure we have room to get in and out. Ive had the truck for nearly a year and it’s been the only time I wanted a diesel, for that reason alone. I ordered a 58 gallon replacement fuel tank after that trip. Still waiting on it to arrive.

I could definitely see where finding a gas pump may be a problem.

I've got the same problem with gas stations. 2022 GMC 2500 6.6 gas and a 36' 5th wheel. I've learned that most flying Js have rv gas lanes. And yes google satellite is your friend!

​@@user-lf8du6ht8xthis is something that actually makes Ford's connected navigation possibly worth the cost. I haven't used it myself yet but from my research, when you use trailer routing and search for gas stations along the route, it will prioritize stations that are known to fit RVs, like Flying J's or Pacific Prides.

Why is your steering wheel off center?
