2019 versus 2020 engine significant difference?
Putting aside the increased HP and torque, are the changes on the 2020 engine significant enough for the normal Joe? I know the pistons are going to be steel versus aluminum and the turbo is supposed to spool differently. What else am I missing?

- New 36,000-psi fuel injection system
- Ford’s engineers took a run at the cylinder head, block, connecting rods, and bearings; each one beefed up to handle higher cylinder pressures and greater outputs.
- The injectors spray up to eight times per stroke to control noise levels and optimize combustion

If you don't need the extra power try and find the best deal on a 2019 diesel. I just sold a 2018 diesel and honestly it had Way more power then I needed to tow my 12k 5th wheel. Only reason I sold the truck was the load carrying was not enough for my 5th wheel. Don't underestimate 2017-2019 6.7 and 6 speed, they are wonderful package. You can probably get a very good deal on a 2019 before the 2020 trucks hit the lots.

Looks like you might need to update your username. The 7.3 with the 4.30 gears should be awesome. I know it the 6.2 is!
Ordered - 2020 XLT F350 CCSB 4x4 7.3 10 Speed 4.30

If you have a 7ft garage door it may not. I wouldnt put my 2019 in a 7ft door, as they do hang down some below 7ft.

Roughly the same for the 3 I previously owned. Tremor- that might be a different story.

Just about everything on the 6.7L is new. New pistons, rods, turbo, fuel pump & injectors, cylinder heads, bearings, cam, etc...
