BeerOrGasoline's '15 Ferd F150 Lariat

[BeerOrGasoline]

Doozel is over rated. Gasser for life!

Enter the 7.3 Gasser!

3.5EB vs 3.0 PowerStroke vs 7.3 Gas vs 6.7 PowerStroke. All are in play as of current.

150 vs 250. Both Crew Cab 6.5/6.75 bed. Lariat or King Ranch trims.

will come down to day-to-day fuel economy, trailer stability and overall driveability/usability. When I bought the 2015, the old Super Duty was in production so it was an easy "nope" just from the niceties of the new cab in the 150. Truck only sees trailer maybe 6-10 times per year so it's not my main concern & trailer is capped at ~10.5k GCW

My buddy loves his 3.0 PSD, it's got some fucking engine issue Ford isn't fixing yet cuz it's still too new but I imagine once the bugs are worked out it'll be a nice little weekend warrior set up

i think i'd wait on the new "big gas" engines to get the bugs worked out personally.

I've been hearing similar reports. My biggest gripe is it's SLOWWWWWWW. After driving a tuned EB for 4 years that could be hard to go back to.

It's pushrod, should be fantastic from the jump #ChevyLogic #PushrodsAreLife #V8tilIdie

People want little diesels for emissions, not hp.

I get that. The MPG I've been seeing is pretty awesome for something I daily. But like, fuck is it slow.

So, uh, this thing is dead as of January 2022.

holy fucking shit, were you okay?

 

[BeerOrGasoline]

Snow covered black ice & a steep downhill with a sharp turn at the bottom, up north during sled season. 5 people in the truck, I had a few cracked ribs from the airbag but that was the extent of bodily injury. Truck hit a tree & ended up rolling onto the driver side. Total loss.

yes, tinted every window on the new one as a result. Almost no glass up front, glass shards everywhere in the back.
