The New 2023 Ford Super Duty is a Game Changer: I Take A Deep With The Engineer Who Built The Engine

A “Game Changer” to me would be a new heavy duty truck that cost less than last year’s model.

From a rating standpoint the 7.3 with 4:30 rear end is rated (i.e. legally allowed) to tow almost the same as the 6.7 regular powerstroke (not the HO)-7.3 is only ~1,000lbs less for gooseneck. For weekenders the 7.3 seems the best option, and is $9,000 less than the regular powerstroke. Add in a higher payload than either diesel and you have a highly capable truck.

A large cube Boss would have offered much better performance than the lackluster Godzilla

[@brianb-p6586]

@@BC08 That's not true at all. From Ford's published specifications: 6.8L Gas V8: 405 HP @ 5,000 rpm, 445 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm 7.3L Gas V8: 430 HP @ 5,500 rpm, 485 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm The smaller engine peak torque is lower, and the peak is at the same speed as the larger engine. The smaller engine's peak power is lower, and that peak is actually at a lower speed than the larger engine. The shorter stroke does not shift the torque or power to higher engine speed. The 6.8 is about 7% smaller in displacement, and has about 6% lower peak power and 8% lower torque, so output is essentially proportional to displacement.

[@BC08]

@@brianb-p6586 Based on your numbers the 6.8 peak torque rpm is not lower, it is the same. Take the the same top end (cylinder heads, intake manifold and camshaft), reduce stroke (thereby reducing displacement) and the power band shifts higher every time. This is basic physics. So what’s happening here is Ford could be reporting HP at an arbitrary RPM (like 5000) to differentiate peak outputs between the 6.8 and 7.3 or they put a smaller duration cam in it since based on all accounts the cylinder heads and intake are the same. And before you ask why Ford would under-report peak HP to differentiate engine options, they did it with the 5.0. Twice. They would report the peak HP of the 5.0 truck engines @ 5500 RPM and 5750 RPM. We can look to numerous dyno graphs of stock Gen 1 and 2 5.0 truck engines not making peak HP until 6200-6300 RPM on dynos. Why would they do this? To give the 3.5 EcoBoost - a higher cost option - more peak HP on paper.

Thanks for all the information on the new SuperDuty. Great looking truck in the red color.

[@mikeswik6608]

Really cool the DI engineer came out. she must have a lot of free time

[@Lunatech04]

Very good coverage

[@phathick2003]

When will you be doing the towing test with the regular and HO 6.7?

[@frankkeel8410]

How much? Are they on sale?

[@PlaneSaddles]

It still feels weird that the 2023 Super Dutys are just hitting the lots in the last few months. Coming from a company that has been known to throw 2008 year models in January of 07. Is the 23 year model going to be a short production then the 24s hit in the fall?

[@SVAutoAustin]

Yes

[@boobacockaa]

Yes. Ford said they were reducing production to keep prices high.

On the instrument cluster for job 2 it is not the same. I have a BAP 2023 Lariat Ultimate, very different, no side diesel options. I can select them but the left side stays and all info is in middle.

[@shane2552]

Never mind, figured it out. Wow! Great information Thank you!

[@bobmariano3731]

Make sure you cover ALL the engine & transmission issues too 😘🤛😱⚾️

[@highball7347]

I’ve been watching TFL and BTBRV since their first videos and the love affair between these two and Ford is definitely not lost on anyone. We get it. You guys are in love with Ford but how many of these “game changers” have made it to customers in the past year?

[@chadbutler3277]

my old heads up display in a Buick I couldn't see it with polarized glasses. Can you on this one?

[@orrinkelso9295]

With the cost of that Lariat truck, you might have to sell the house and live in the truck. So that reclining seat will come in handy.

[@billmiller4620]

I agree, they just keep jacking up the prices. They can keep it.

[@matthamilton7452]

Game changer all right, I put 3,089 miles on my 23 and the electrical charging system went to crap. All Ford 250 and 350 are having issues and other Ford brand products have issues. Ford heavy duty are being recalled for axel issues.

[@almangrant7358]

Andre, can you question the Ford engineer, why is the block material flayed between the cylinder bores? It would easily crack if a coolant leak occurred.

[@boobacockaa]

He’s a sellout & a coward, he will never ask something like that.

[@carl8790]

Took them forever to put a HUD on the 3/4 to 1 ton category.

[@WayApp]

Wow, this is truly impressive!

[@amadousow2477]

When will they offer manual regeneration DPF.

[@georgewilson1184]

I want to know if I can get a Manual gearbox in any F / Series truck

[@sflagg0817]

I had an 23 F350 at 1500 miles a charging system fault came on and it was un fixable so much it was declared a lemon by Ford, I then picked up a 24 F250 after everything was said and done

[@redracerproductions]

Let's be honest, Ford didn't make the 6.8 to have a lower priced option. They made it so they could charge more for the 7.3. I'm sure the difference in cost to manufacture is minimal between the two.

[@holeshot1721]

What are you talking about. If they wanted to charge more they would have just kept the already great 6.2 gas nd not spent millions engineering an all new 6.8 liter

[@redracerproductions]

@@holeshot1721 they said it’s practically the same engine as the 7.3 but with a shorter stroke. I’m sure it was a relatively inexpensive development and having more shared parts Vs the 6.2 will be be better financially in the long run. I don’t blame them, they are a business after all.

[@giuseppeaiello4371]

ngl i’m a grad student going for a engineering degree but my gawd andre talking to these guys making me fall asleep! dude you gotta be more intriguing when your talking about your product be proud. guy sounds like he didn’t know what they did to the new motor

[@aldeluca5079]

Dude, he is an engineer, not a salesman, ease off the negativity. He did fine.

[@wildbill23c]

Today's XL or "Work Truck" package Super Duty Fords are equipped with more standard features than my 99 F250 Super Duty with the Lariat Package....not sure why anyone would think they need to have anymore features and gadgets LOL.

[@Danzilly]

Andre thanks for talking to the engineers. Wish power on board was standard equipment on the xl trims.

[@cornfedproductions9773]

The Eco Boost has been running in small cars/trucks for years, When is the 7.3 going to get some twin turbos? And a E85 option, now that’s a real game changer.

[@nathanmcdonald610]

Doubt that'll ever happen. A twin turbo 7.3L would rivel the output of the Powerstroke and they don't want to cannibalize sales of their most profitable engine.

[@DiMoraDiamond]

Ecoboost = EcoBoom blown head gaskets before 2020.

[@ItMeZumn]

They make a Whipple Supercharger for the 7.3 Godzilla

[@st6795]

Like the fact ford is offering two gas engines.

[@jamessachs224]

I find it funny how the ford looks more like a chevy up front that chevy does now days (luxury trim anyway)

[@JayCarroll]

What fuel pump is on the diesel engines for 2023?

[@DUNEATV]

I don’t see why the smaller engine is needed. If you spent all the time and money that was used to develop the second smaller engine and put that into the 7.3 I feel that would’ve been more beneficial.

[@jpvdw1961]

I don't understand the size of the new engine. 6 8? It's so close in size to the 7.3

[@PowerstrokeSynd]

Love my 2017 F250 FX4 6.7.

[@dh405]

I do wish you had ask about the CP4 changes and why they keep using it, other than they need that 36,000 lb squirt.

[@YAOZYVIDEO]

This guy probably doesn’t even know what a CP4 is. He only knows the surface stuff

[@billp5424]

At that price point those low hanging steps should retract.

[@sei-o-lepuha5947]

What's the meaning of high output Is it more power??

[@craigg4246]

you should have asked him what they are doing about the 7.3L engines losing their cam and lifters at 40k miles?

[@rayman1908]

The bigger problem is the 10 speed that you cant get replacements for

​@@rayman1908haven't had any issues with the 10 speed and it's pulling more than it prob should in the 450...
