I had a 2011 Lariat Sb CC 6.2L with 3.73 gears and now have the same truck except for a 7.3L 2022 Tremor with 4.30 gears. I will say the 7.3L with the ten-speed is a beast compared to the 6.2L with the 6-speed. They get almost identical gas mileage. The 7.3L has a much broader torque curve. It comes on sooner and pulls a lot harder.

I'm pleased with mine. Less crap to go wrong than the previous engines I've had (3.5TT and 6.7PS). It does what I need it do without complaint. MPGs, meh. I'm getting almost as good as the dually PS I had for commuting.

2021 7.3 4:30 rear. 70K miles on odometer. Used as farm truck work in surveying daily driver. No issues just do maintenance and drive it. I did for the first time since owning it did a hand wash vs just power washing it every so often. Sorta detailed the inside a bit. I tow hay tractor other equipment and cattle. I change the oil based on the oil monitor and when I have a chance. Most have been done between 20%. One at 30% because a trip was coming up and one done at 10% just because every weekend it rained and couldn’t get it done. Great truck.

Love mine. As stated earlier, big improvement over the 6.2. Better than the 2000 V10 but I did like the low end torque on the V10 and manual transmission set up I had. That V10 was better than the 6.2.
