I love the new fords. I have a 15 f150 and 01 f250 and have been seriously considering a new f250 but I have talked to numerous certified Ford mechanics and all have given me the same advice on the 6.7. Im not bashing the ford because I really like the truck. I also have heard stories they are bringing the 7.3 back next year but who knows.

I hope the traditional 7.3L NEVER comes back - that injection system can stay far, far away from my new truck!

I enjoyed my 7.3, but having had my deleted 6.4 for 5 years now I would NEVER, EVER go back.

I think an updated 7.3 with common rail injection would be a great motor. However, the 7.3 was a product of International so I doubt that Ford would go back to an outside supplier for their engines. With that being said, if they bumped up the displacement up the current 6.7 and slapped a 7.3 badge on the side of the truck, I bet they would sell a million trucks, just "because".

That Ebay F450 is hideous! I was checking out a 17 CCLB F350 lariat at the MotoX race on Saturday and I must say that it was a kick ass looking truck. and I'm a Chevy guy!.

I don't like the wheels - looks like they were sourced from a craigslist ATV ad, but I like the rest of the truck. I really love those new ford saddlebags

The 7.3 is the best diesel ever! Until you burn up a glow plug harness in the middle of winter and that f**ker will only start on ether 'till April....
