Ford working on Twin Turbo 7.3L

So what trim(s) will this be limited to? Likely one pricey special edition. Also interesting GM announced bump coming from the 6.6L (and diesel) at refresh for MY23 or MY24 pending chip chaos. I suspected at refresh GM would add 10 speed, Ford DI but likely more going on even without the TT monster.

I doubt Ford would ever do it as you would be getting into Powerstroke numbers.

Hp/tq yes agree would be tempting but I suspect towing mpg will be deal killer for working trucks. Occasional rv tow units may not care.

Offset cafe numbers with the Lightening? A TT 7.3 would guzzle under boost..and most likely premium at 8 mpg. I'd lease one....wouldn't own one.
