My friend has a Tremor 7.3 in stock at one of his dealerships and offered it to me for a few days to try with no strings attached. I told his manager at the dealership I thought I would prefer a 6.2L.
My heaviest load is the tractor, and I don't have a need to pull it much. Mostly, I end up pulling a side x side, utility trailer, etc. I'm hoping mileage on the 6.2 if I go that route will be similar to my Tundra, which is pretty consistent 15 mpg plus or minus one mpg empty and usually around 10 mpg with a trailer. I do some town but the majority of my driving is highway.
I have a friend who has both the 6.2 and a 7.3 in F250's. Actually the 7.3 is an F350. They get the same mileage empty and the 7.3 he said actually gets a little better towing, probably because it doesn't have to work as hard as the 6.2.
We have one F250 at work with a 6.2 and I drive an F-350 with 7.3 gas and there is no comparison.
The 7.3 was only a $1700 option
