Hard to decipher through all the pages. Thinking it is time for a Super duty specific thread. Maybe I'm just being lazy and not wanting to dig thru all the pages.
I'm shopping. Selling my F150. Buying a replacement which will be a daily driver and replace my crew cab dually. Seriously looking at F250/F350 gassers. My FN150 is a nice truck but thirsty at the pumps. My dually doesn't get driven much. It pulls an enclosed trailer, pushes snow, and maybe 12-15 times per year pulls a skid loader around town.
If I find a deal on the 7.3L gas engine I won't turn it down. The 6.2L seems solid with not a ton of issues from what I'm hearing. So so maybe a little better than expected fuel mileage for a truck of this size. I'm seeing a 6.8L now as well. Looks like a 7.3L with shortened stroke. Supposed to be a little better on fuel. Allegedly e85 friendly but I don't know that I would run it. I don't hear good things about the Super Duty trucks liking the low end fuel.
Any firsthand input on the 6.8L? Fuel mileage averages on those of you with the 6.2L engines? Any issues? Pricing on used trucks has me considering brand new. That is something I never thought I would say. Thanks in advance.
