As a service advisor, I would tell folks to go with a gas option every time unless they are towing super heavy and often. Modern diesels are not only significantly more expensive to get into, they are significantly more expensive to maintain, and repair. They also have more maintenance requirements associated with their inherent complex emissions systems, and have more instances of component failures. If a turbo grenades, or a fuel system gets contaminated with high pressure pump guts, it's $12,000-$18,000 to repair. These are also long repairs that exceed 30 flag hours to complete, so even -if- the parts are available, it will be most of a week to repair and test, plus programming, as most of these components integrate with the PCM on a serial basis and aren't plug and play. Meanwhile, you may spend $1200 on a tune up at 100,000 miles for the 7.3. The average oil change is also only $80 on the 7.3L vs $180 for the Powerstroke, and that doesn't include the extra $200-$300 for fuel filter replacement every other oil change, nor the cost of DEF. Even if Diesel fuel cost the same as gasoline, you would never recoup the additional costs, even if you drove it a million miles (which you won't, as those massive repair bills usually cause folks to buy new $80,000 trucks). So again, if you are buying one of these trucks, and especially a single rear wheel unit, 90% should buy the gas option. Your fiscal self will thank you.

@@Anonymous-jj9yu The old 7.3 powerstroke was a great engine, but due to it being a dead platform for 20 years, parts availability, especially for soft parts like hoses, belts and harnesses, is becoming more rare. Not so bad for belts specifically, because you can just swing down to autozone or Orellys for those (as long as you know which alternator option you have). At this point, getting an Excursion is less like buying a used vehicle, and more like restoring a classic.

Then you always get those guys that say “but but but diesel gets better fuel mileage”. At $10-12k up front plus fuel that’s $1 per gallon more expensive you’re not saving money by getting marginally better fuel economy.

I have a 22 f350 Godzilla, I drive a lot, so it already has over 50k miles. great truck, I get around 15 city and 16 highway. Guys out there looking to buy a truck, listen to me. Unless you're towing over 20k everyday, you do NOT, I repeat NOT need a diesel. No way in hell you can justify paying 13K extra upfront for the diesel option and then all the problems you will have from the emission system and paying more for fuel and paying more for services. I owned diesels all my life, trust me, I love diesels, the problem is Modern. diesiels are not what we grew up knowing and loving. The epa has ruined them foreever. it breaks my heart when I see people with a high out put diesel towing 4k pounds and all they have to tow. it's like going off roading with an M1 Abrams tank, so much power and nothing to do with it. Pick any of the big three gas engines (7.3 Godzilla)(6.4 hemi) or (6.6 from GMC/Chevy) any of these three Will do 99% of the towing out there with a lot less upfront and a lot less on maintenance and far more reliable than modern diesels.

Picked one up and drove from KC to NC, averaged 13.8 mpg going mostly 68-75 mph. The 7.3's are rarer than the diesel and rarer yet in a Tremor Lariat. I made full use of the adaptive cruise control with lane centering and recv'd the hand on steering wheel warning many times, but not enough for me not to use it.

Almost 75k miles on my Carli 3" level F250 w 37's. We love this 7.3 with 3:55 gears and get just about the same or slightly better than what you got. Im thinking the gearing is a trade off for the tires. I also changed my running boards, front valance and wheel lip molding from a Tremor. I also have dual exhaust and a 5star tune that I mainly keep in the 87 octane daily drive/light tow tune. 2025 I will get the same truck. Been extremely reliable and she pulls my skid steer and 17k boat.

I have to disagree with on the 4.30 not helping fuel economy. You get more torque multiplication, so less load on the engine for the same acceleration and with the 10 speed and big tires, the rpm is still low enough that taller gearing won't make much difference. Plus. As you load it up, it will still feel strong and relaxed and see more of a difference in fuel economy.
@garysarratt1
@garysarratt1 4 ай бұрын
The 4.30 will ever help fuel economy. The overdrive ratios in the 10 speeds high gears are what will affect that. “Feeling strong and relaxed” doesn’t change fuel economy.

@matthewprather7386
@matthewprather7386 23 күн бұрын
4.30 suffers more friction losses than taller ratio will.. The only way that would be overcome is if the trans doesn’t have a good ratio available for the load and speed being driven. And considering these trucks have 10 forward ratios it seems likely a good ratio is always available. Modern engines are tuned to be happy lugging.
@mikemayes2985
@mikemayes2985 Күн бұрын
I agree with you. The only place the 4.30 gearing might effect gas mileage more would be at really high highway speeds, 80-85 mph. But towing, city driving, and 50-60 mph, the 4.30 might actually be a benefit since the lower gears make tootaling around completely effortless for the engine. I really wish more dealerships would order more of the non tremor trucks with 4.30 gears since a lot of guys might want to go to 35 inch tires. Especially since the 33 and 34 inch stock tires look to small and kind of ugly on the new body styles. They need 35's just to look right in my opinion.

No matter how much was loaded into it! I don’t even know if there was a sticker saying how much payload or towing they could handle!! Of course gas was under a buck a gallon, so we didn’t care about mpg.

How is it off-road? Currently have a Gen 1 6.2 V8 Raptor and I'm looking to upgrade to a 2024 Gen 3 Raptor or go for an F250 as I'll be towing a Bruder trailer and hauling a couple KTM 300s in the back as I overland all over north and central america

That’s horrible mileage. Our 2019 Yukon XL returns 20 to 21 in the V8 mode, with the 4 cylinder mode locked out. Will tow 7k.

I actually really like these trucks as a Toyota fan. Toyota doesn’t make them so it’s no biggie haha . I like the 7.3 and the GM 6.6 although it’s less powerful. I briefly entertained the thought of getting one in the future just simply for the heavier duty frame payload and towing capacity over my 5.7 Tundra. ….but after really looking it over I don’t tow above 8-10k and it really makes me realize how solid the old second gen tundras are . Even outdated it still makes 401ft lb at 3600 rpm which is around 400 rpm less than the 7.3s 475ft lb I believe . And I get around 16 mpg in the summer . Real world more guys than not , I’m seeing 11-13mpg with a few exceptions here and there on the 7.3. I still like them , but this is my 2nd 5.7 Tundra and if you know how to tow they are beasts . 5000lb +…simply tow/haul S5. Under 5000 S5

I find that average mpg amazing for such a large heavy duty truck, I owned a 2000 Nissan 3.3 V6 manual 4x4 crew cab that got about 17mpg no matter what kind of tire or driving style. Kudos to Ford and the other truck manufacturers for building some amazing vehicles. Great video TK👍

Actually it isn't that great honestly...in over 30 years they haven't gotten any better fuel economy. It gets the same fuel economy as my 88 F250 with the 460 V8, and C6 automatic transmission....which is a 3 speed transmission. The only thing that's changed is the quality has gotten worse with all the electronic nannies they have put into today's vehicles.

I don't think in the HD sector that the fuel figure is too significant compared to range. How far can it go with a heavy load or towing. I don't think that there are many HD owners who buy these trucks to cruise around empty. Irrespective of trim levels and luxuries, they are work trucks. Put the HDs to work and talk about range!

I can tell you the answer. I have a 24 tremor lariat 7.3. Best I’ve seen on eco mode on the hi-way is 13mpg. Normal non towing average is 11.5. Average on a tank including hauling a 14k lb dump trailer around was 10mpg. Not bad for what I need. I replaced a ram 1500 that was giving me 15-16mpg and could never do what the 250 tremor can.

My question is if you have lane keep or various forms of pre collision braking, if you turn these systems off as many do, will you be in trouble with insurance in case of accident?? If they check if these system were turned off could they essentially void your coverage? They could say they are there for safety and your not covered for turning them off?

It's a real shame that warnings pop up, there should just be one warning when you start and that is it, the whole purpose is for the cpu to take over, why have to fight what it is doing? If anything input from the driver should set the cpu to shut off!

What is the point of that engine? Barely more HP and less torque than the 3.5L EcoBoost V6. Also, fully agree about the lanekeep. I just bought a new F 150 and it didnt have it and Im not too disappointed. Why not just have the wheel have a touch sensor so it knows youre touching it without having to jerk the wheel every 20 seconds.

Agreed. Also they are incredibly high. The hood height is crazy on modern HD trucks. How long before we get a forward facing camera to be able to see what's within 10 feet of the front bumper?

So what is the point of assisted steering if you can not give your arms a rest on a long drive? It instead seems to be designed to help the aim of those drivers who can't actually drive between the lines.
