Based on the numbers from your video it would take 318989 Miles to break even. But that isnt counting the extra cost of the diesel maintenance.
@yungnachty4474
@yungnachty4474 2 года назад
So assuming you are trying to hit about 500K miles on both trucks...The 7.3 will always be cheaper. The 7.3 is a big displacement V8 with nothing but NA glory. Its built to last. The 7.3 is easier to work on yourself, and is much cheaper to fix. Many issues with diesels require the type of work that will run you 5,000 to 10,000 dollars whenever something goes wrong with the ECM causing engine problems and/or the turbos fail. You will basically never break even with modern diesels. Its a specific platform you should only ever get because only a diesel can.

Right! Sometimes I think these diesel fanboys can't do simple math. Let's be real here, most diesel buyers only choose it for the sound and the torque bragging rights, NOT because they actually need the capability. I was seriously considering a F250 powerstroke to haul a slide-in camper, until I did the math on fuel and maint cost. The 6.7 makes absolutely no sense for the vast majority of non-commercial buyers.

We just got our 7.3L, 4.30 rear end 2022 F350 Lariat that we had ordered back in September 2021. My wife and I really tortured ourselves about going gas vs. diesel, but man are we happy with how that 7.3 performs -- pulling our ~7klb TT with that 7.3 and deep rear end is effortless. I'm sure that the Powerstroke would do even better, but I'm impressed with that 7.3. I totally understand the fuel economy bonus of the Powerstroke, but that 10k$ upcharge is a lot. You say it straight in your vid when you say that there really isn't a comparison between gas and diesel... We just determined that the gas made more sense for our specific situation as drivers in MN.

Great discussion, I have the 7.3 gas in a 2021 F250 crew cab with 3:55 in the rear, I have pulled a travel trailer 8k lbs with full cargo and family 4-5 people from SW Ohio to panhandle of FLA twice in the last year, it handles load and rides great, the RPMs stayed under 3000 the majority of the trip even going through the mountains (driving conservative) I love the low end torque, no exhaust brake although in tow/haul mode when you let off the gas and tap the brakes it will drop some gears and help slow down well, 8.5-10.5 mpg while towing, 13.5 unloaded, I didn’t even consider the diesel due to the high initial cost the DEF and extra maintenance required, and I don’t plan on ever towing super heavy loads and or pushing truck to full capacity, so for myself Its great and smooth like peanut butter and jelly, lol

Fleet manager here. As several have pointed out the mpg means nothing when you are talking entry cost and maintenance cost. The 7.3L V8 will always win. We have 86 vehicles in our fleet from F-250 to F-450 and until the 7.3L V8 came out they were all diesel trucks. In the last couple of years we have been replacing every truck that hits 300,000 miles with a 7.3L V8. So you know back in the day we would replace at 500,000, but the emissions systems have absolutely killed the longevity of the diesel trucks. They are just too expensive to maintain anymore. So far, we have switched out 39 of our vehicles for F-350 7.3L V8 trucks. We will eventually get to 52 total 7.3L's and then the rest will still be diesel. In the F-350 gas we can still tow 80% of what our company moves on the roads. We usually are 12,000-18,000 for most jobs. Anything above 18,000 and you are going to want a dually diesel anyway. Bottom line if you are anyone that tows a camper or anything really under 15,000 lbs I would not hesitate getting the 7.3L. It will save you tens of thousands of dollars in lifetime maintenance and $10,000 in entry costs. Don't even get me started on diesel fuel. Because of the extra costs for diesel the gas engines are cheaper too especially when towing.

Need to do a video of cost of ownership for both. No doubt the diesel is the way to go on heavy loads but if your pulling a 16k camper the cost favors the 7.3....break out a calculator and run the numbers....the 7.3 is more cost effective and becomes more so as the spread between diesel any gas costs get greater. Include all maintenance costs and DEF as well.

Have a tenant who has a small construction company. He purchased 3 new 2021 F250 6.7, all three had engine replacements well within the warranty period. All turbos went out and 2 trans (10 speed I believe). He’s a die hard Ford guy too. He switched over to Ram, reluctantly. They had to end up relying on a 99 F250 when all 3 were in the shop at the same time. Hopefully Fords redesign in 2023 fix a lot of the issues. I love Fords myself, but I’m holding out to see how the new engine fares.

I’ve had trucks and rv’s for over 45 years. My current f350 has a 7.3 & 3:73 rear. I tow a 7600# TT. With 5600 miles on the clock I ave 13 empty around town and 17 on the frwy. On a 4k trip from the PNW to AZ and back I averaged 10.3. Camping friend with 2 yr old GM diesel & similar TT averaged 1.5 mpg better on same trip. He has more tq up long steep hills but I have no issues at all keeping up and I’m not straining a bit. Ultimately I bought the truck to tow so empty mpg mean nothing to me. So for ME the 7.3 made a lot more sense.

All boils down to how often and what weight you tow. I had a 2019 6.2 f250 and I tow about 8,000 lbs 4 times a week and it drunk gas like crazy. Due to the economy I was able to trade in the 6.2 and I found 2020 6.7 in Maryland and the note was only a $18 difference. The 6.7 only had 15,000 miles when I purchased, I think it was a sweet deal.

JB says he likes the fuel economy of the Power Stroke, but with diesel fuel costing $1.30 more than gas, it actually costs more to drive the Power Stroke! I looked up the average cost of gas and diesel in Atlanta on today's date, which is $3.45 for gas and $4.75 for diesel. Using the mpg figures achieved in this video at 13.8 mpg for the 7.3L and 18.1 mpg for the 6.7 Power Stroke on a 500 mile trip, it would cost, for gas, $125 to drive the Ford 7.3L Godzilla those 500 miles, while the Ford 6.7L Power Stroke would require $131.20 for diesel, even though it gets 4.3 mpg better mileage, according to this video. So the Power Stroke does cost more for fuel if these mpg figures hold up and the cost of gas and diesel stay the same. However, that doesn't take into consideration the additional $8,000 premium one pays upon purchase for that glorious, power chugging diesel engine, and all the required emissions controlling devices that may one day be the origin of its demise.

With the 8-9K more to get the diesel up front plus the cost of maintenance, fuel and DEF you will never get your money back. I just watched a guy pull 27K with the 7.3 Godzilla and did pretty well.

I'll be using this truck to plow and tow a boat and a trailer occasionally none of which will come close to the maximum towing capacity or gvwr. Decisions, decisions.... Right now I'm leaning slightly towards the 7.3 since it will do everything I'll need it to and will be easier on the wallet.

The proof is in the pudding most contractors are dumping their diesels and buying 7.3’s. If you work a truck hard and you’re not towing over 20,000 pounds 7.3 is the way to go. It’s gonna last longer it’s a lot easier to fix it does give you more payload capacity you don’t ever have to worry about being Derated and having 50 miles to go before you’re limited to 5 miles an hour.For someone who wants the ultimate power the 6.7 is always better.The real world is 7.3 only gets one to 3 miles per gallon worse than a 6.7 wait till the 6.7 goes to a regen cycle The mpg on that tank will drop. If you’re gonna drive it personally I understand the diesel but if you’re gonna let employees run it you’re way better off with a 7.3.

In my further opinion, trade in or salvage price has to come into the equation: it's not just about fuel. Historically, diesels usually command a better resale probably because for the same displacement those engines will last longer. Is the 7.3 gas a game changer where it can last as long as the diesel? If not, then this mitigates some of the $8,000 difference.

To answer your transmission question. I believe Ford puts the same 10r140 transmission in the Super Duty trucks. As a side note regarding the extra cost of the diesel. First, most people aren't going to own it long enough to break even on the mpg difference. Plus you have more expensive oil changes, DEF, and fuel filters that need regular changing. Cost of ownership is higher. You will makeup the $10K price difference when you go to sell. You don't buy the diesel to save money. You buy it to work hard. I wouldn't go back to a gas just for the diesel engine brake, never mind the power.

Good stuff JB. I have been a "diesel guy" since 2002. Still have my 7.3 powerstroke, which has been bulletproof - unfortunately the rest of the truck has pretty much rusted away after 20 years in Wisconsin winters. Looking to buy a 2023 and have determined that the Godzilla is the way to go for me (IF I CAN GET ONE!) I am only hauling an approx.10-11,000# loaded fifth wheel and can't justify the huge extra cost of a new powerstroke, especially with the upside down diesel fuel prices and much higher maintence costs. When I first got into diesels the fuel cost was quite a bit lower than gas. That Godzilla big block with 4.30 gearing and 10 speed trans (same as powerstroke trans per Ford,) is a beast.

Good comparison bro! We are finishing up a 5k mile trip. Many many fill ups! Going through truck stop diesel lanes is easy with a fifth wheel. The few times we had to use a mom and pop gas place was a pain. ( me trying to stretch out a 31 gallon tank didn’t always work out lol) The ones that pull in toward the building are the worst. I don’t know how people who pull long tall loads frequently with gas engines do it. Although at one truck stop we did see an RV gas lane. So fingers crossed for the gasser crowd for fuel options. Also we followed a newer 7.3 F250 and long TT down the East exit of Yellowstone and he had to ride the brakes for 5 miles. There is no way I’d do gas and tow in real mountain terrain. Mpg is about range and cost for me.🇺🇸💪

You need to involve DEF with diesels. Money and the maintenance cost that you won’t ever see with a gas job. I am not a hater. My personal truck is a gas and my work truck is a diesel. I would never use a diesel as a daily driver. But I would use a gas truck as a work truck. Diesel are nice but they are expensive especially when you have a break down. I have a diesel mechanic that works for me so it’s not as bad.

The diesel transmission has different clutch packs and a couple other minor differences than the gas Super Duty 10 speed. The gas SD 10 speed has almost nothing similar to the F150 10 speed.

Depends on your towing world…..if you are in construction or other similar job, yes, diesel is only way to go because you reflect the cost of a diesel into your services if your smart. As to the occasional tow of a RV or boat or even a trailer with a tractor or other equipment, the 7.3 far abounds in current day cost. Diesel will never come back in check. Factor in a diesel cost more to maintain then a quality diesel mechanic is like a heart surgeon, then you figure out why gas today is the no-brainer. Once again, no business to get the cost of a diesel back, go gas. I pull my fiver easily with my 7.3 gas with 3:55 gearing.

They towed the 2021 f 350 to ford. It was there almost 4 months for a turbo replacement. I think a 7.3 Platinum with 4.30 gears fits my situation.

Good video JB! I really believe that it comes down to your intent, what you plan on using the truck for. As someone planning on pulling a travel trailer and just by observation I don’t believe a diesel is necessary (Though there are light weight 5th wheels that a 2500 diesel could pull, but so could a 2500 Gasser with a better payload). A 2500 Gasser would do the job just as well in my estimation! Knowing there will be a difference in fuel economy and power I would need to adjust in speed, route planning and other areas. No matter what you get the driver is going to compensate in order to equal things out as best as they could to maximize fuel. At this juncture I am undecided if the/my diesel is worth $8000-$10,000 more than a Gasser? Keep up the great videos!

I would go with the 7.3 gasser. This truck will be more than enough for the majority of the work required by 3/4 ton truck owners. Unless you are towing heavy for a living, this will easily tow your 5th wheel camper anywhere you need to go for the weekend warrior. Gas is much less expensive than diesel which cancels out a lot of the 6.7's fuel milage advantage as far as fuel costs per mile. Then there is the $8K additional price at purchase not to mention the added costs of diesel maintenance. Buy what makes you happy, but more $$ in my pocket makes me happy.

@michaeldunagan8268
@michaeldunagan8268 2 года назад
In my opinion, unless you're towing 10,000 pounds or more, it's going to be rough to justify the cost of a diesel engine. If this were back in the year 2000 when diesel engines didn't have all this emissions crap, I wouldn't be so confident saying this. You also have to take the difference in the cost per gallon into account. We also have to know if the 7.3 requires high octane fuel which is over a dollar per gallon difference where I live in Chicago land. An algebraic equation Could be $G ÷ mpg = $D ÷ mpg Here on September 1st, 2022, the 7-Eleven gas station has 87 octane gas for about $4.37 and diesel fuel for about $5.29. there's county taxes in addition to state taxes and federal taxes which is why it's so expensive here. The MATH! 7.3L $4.37 ÷ 13 = 33.6154¢ per mile fuel cost 6.7L $5.29 ÷ 16 = 33.0625 per mile fuel cost. 33.6154 - 33.0625 = 0.5504. You have to drive a hundred miles just to save 55 cents. Now Read It and weep as the truth hurts: $8,000 extra money for the diesel engine ÷ 0.5504 fuel cost savings per mile = 1,453,488 miles to be driven to breakeven on the initial purchase price cost I'm not including running maintenance costs or salvage value cost end of life as a diesel engine may have a longer life. I'm just looking at the difference in fuel costs comparison to recover the $8,000 difference in engine price. .EDIT: I am reminded of the DEF situation too by those that have left comments on this video so that's going to further exasperate the break-even point for the diesel as now the diesel price per gallon must go up at the price of the DEF which is usually one gallon of DEzf per 40 gallons of diesel. And watch the diesel fuel mileage go down if you have to do a Regen.

For towing torque counts, not horsepower. So the diesel is hands down the best tower. In addition, the higher fuel economy will help pay for the extra cost of the diesel over a lot of miles. However, that is not the determining factor if you are carrying, or towing, heavy loads. It's high torque that allows the truck to perform so well.
