Regardless if you go with the 6.2 or 7.3 IMO choose the 4:30 gearing. My 2019 is a 6.2 with 4:30's and I love it. Much better at towing than my old 2002 7.3 diesel was. The 4:30's really wakes up this motor and even at 70 mph I am only turning 2300 rpms. I average almost 16 on a trip and high 13's to 14 around town. Truck is a 2019 CC 4x4 with the short bed. That’s impressive Snowwolfe. What transmission do you have? 6 speed auto. I think the 10 speed came out with the 2020 models
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

My F250 is a ‘97, 7.3 Turbo Diesel 5 speed, so it’s theft-proof. 167k miles. It will pull a house off the foundation.
P The 7.3 diesel is a great motor. I think the new 7.3 gas actually has more torque.

I would just guess that the 10 speed tranny might even be better with either the 6.2 or 7.3. The numbers listed on the 7.3 gasser for torque and hp are impressive.

Some may find it hard to believe that the gutless wonder has been towing 15k lbs all morning, sometimes even at 65 mph. It has a 7.3 and a 4R100 automatic transmission. My 20 year old dinosaur F250 4x4 can still gets the job done. I can't understand the new truck allure, but I'm sure glad that people keep buying them. Those 460's were great engines, have one with a ZF 5 speed, its a workhorse. I really like the low end grunt those have. Drove a 2012 gas F350 with a 6.0 or 6.2..? Did a good job towing as well. Buts it was a screamer. Are the new 7.3 the same as the old or power at high rpm?

The man is asking questions about a truck, a Tundra is a car with a open area to put a Yeti. 😁 Hey, keep my Nissan Frontier out of this!
