I have an Excursion. Yes, it has a 7.3. I get about 15 or 16 on the highway, you might do better in a truck. About 13 when I am towing. As far as reliability, no issues with my rig. I am sure that there is somebody out there who has had a bad experience and will swear to you that you should stay away! But they are probably in the minority. The only thing that I am aware of though is that you might want to consider having a spare CPS (camshaft position sensor). When that goes out, your engine dies. Other than that you will probably have some warning that you need to change something.
