Nice engine for it's purpose but in an F450? Ewww. While they're at it, may as well install a 6" lift, some ridiculous rims, thin tires, and change out the tailgate 'applique' to read "Pimp Daddy" or some such. Real flashy and makes loud noises - about useless for any real work.

Looking fwd to more info. Specifically w new 7.3L. Today with 6.2L its 3.73/12k tow or 4.30/15k tow max. But definate mpg penalty w 4.30s. So with 7.3L 10 speed... may be more of a 3.55 or 3.73 scenario? Less of a hit to mpg to get max capability.

Judging by the exhaust, I think both of those may have the 7.3 in them... I believe everything we’ve seen so far has the 6.7 exhaust. Also, looks like 2019’s on the line behind them. Must have just built a few 2020’s with the 7.3 in them for an upcoming announcement/reveal???
