One more for today....F-250 to get MONSTER V-8 in 2020

[IdaSHO]

Nope. Check the bore stroke and cam profile. Not to mention the valve size.

It's an rpm screamer just like the 6.2l. Modern engines can harmlessly take advantage of rpm that previous engines couldn't. Long stroke engines like the 5.4l had massive torque, everyone here called them gutless. Let the trans make torque. Tape over the rpm gauge, and let the engine eat.

It'll waste the 8.1 though. The 8.1 was a low output tow beast. Very wheezy. But that's how work engines survived back then.

Have you seen the published dynograph?
Peak power and RPM range/limit is irrelevant in this discussion.

Notice the torque curve. Greater than 400 lb ft starting at just 1500rpm
Its an absolute stump puller, regardless of high RPM performance.
And is exactly why Ford went with it for its superduty line.
With a very flat, very broad torque curve that starts at such a low RPM, it should be one heck of a motor.

Compared to that of the 6.2... where you need to be beyond 3500RPM to get into the fat part of the torque curve

Yep it's nice.

We've been doing it wrong all these years. It's only a matter of time before we start seeing very short stroke gas truck engines. Especially if hybrids, and mild turbos continue to catch on. Although they'd have to be extremely mild on a tow truck.

yup I would not consider that anything like the 6.2L 400 ft/lbs right off idle and peak at 4K and relatively flat to 6K exactly what I want for toting a camper around running on low grade gasoline..

...yet hundreds of thousands of people do it with out worry...

In between diesels I test drove a 5.4 and found it to be gutless. This new 7.3 could be a game changer with all the diesel emissions.

Yes exactly what I want. Not sure how hundreds of thousands got there hands on one yet. For me I doubt there is a better set up. I wish they would hurry up and become available.

Not sure I read this right, but I’ll tell you that my 6.2L F-350 4x4 with it’s big Tiger fully self contained camper body is pretty good at hauling azz up over the western Rockies on our extended trips each summer. No complaints with it at all.

I’m sure it is fine, still the 7.3 will be better at hauling a camper and feel less stressed doing it. I don’t want a diesel and had the 7.3 not been announced I’d probably be fine with the 6.2.

So what is the latest timing on ordering / delivery.

Someone needs a 7.3 Tremor!

That sounds like a horrible aftershock.

 

[04Ram2500Hemi]

The new 7.3L sounds impressive. It makes me wonder when Ram will bring out something bigger? The Big 3 are always in a Power Pissing Match, so I expect we will see bigger things headed our way. I just want 500hp/500 lb-ft of torque.

I wonder if we will see a production 7.0L 426 Hemi to contend with the 7.3L gasser.

I am really interested in the Tremor as well. My 2017 F-350 has a 2" level kit and Fox 2.0s. This should be real similar but in a factory package. I just wish I could get the Tremor on a XL. Anyone know if you can get vinyl seats in a XLT? Its gotta be vinyl or leather for me.

Pretty sure the Tremor package is available across most trims levels. I think XL to lariat
