I’ve been waiting on the reviews of the 7.3 Ford has.

I was a big fan of the 6.0 Chevy had. I had a 13’ and traded if for an 09 duramax. Didn’t see much difference in towing other than the Engine break for stopping.

New diesel emission issues suck balls. Other than the occasional tractor or cattle trailer (10k lbs) I don’t pull every day.

If you are getting a gas 2500 save a bundle of money and buy a 2-3 year old truck. Sure new shite is nice, but gas 2500's drop like a rock and can be had for a song used.

So hard not to pull the trigger in a new one right now with the 0% offers

Lemme make it easy. I don't think they do 0% on the 2500s

But interior not that nice.
Literally only has 2 cup holders in the entire truck (none in backseat).
And center folding console doesn’t open (no console storage).

My 2020 GMC Denali Crew has six cup holders...plenty console storage, plus storage compartments inside the two outboard rear seatbacks and a storage tray underneath the rear seats...

It's definitely a trim level thing.

Got the Duramax with 10spd. Allison because I tow daily.

I was intrigued by the new gas option but there were none on the lot.

Keep us updated on how that gas motor does for you.

Bought a GMC 2500 crewcab w/ 6.0 & 4wd in 2017. Sticker was around 44000, got it for 36500 plus TTL. Diesel was roughly 10k higher, just couldn't justify it. Tow a few times a month and this truck handles it with ease.

Stock mpg was between 14-16. With 34.5" ridge grapplers, mpg is between 12 and 14.

I drive a 2010 camry to work everyday that gets 33mpg so I'm averaging 23mpg.

Not sure what options you're looking for but Tomball Ford has 3 F250 crew cab 4x4's with the 7.3L, STX appearance package, FX4 suspension package, tow mirrors, running boards, backup camera, cloth seats, and remote start for $42,200.
