And now that you guys have pretty much confirmed my thinking as to the 5.4, please look and this thread and see if maybe you could help out again, as I am back to a 7.3 I like.

Ahh, you're a pretty good ways from me. Is that where you plan on doing your towing? If so, it's pretty much flat down there and you would be fine with just about any engine you choose.
If you are deciding between a 7.3 and a 5.4 I would say go with the 7.3 no questions asked. The 6.0 has great power, but there are just too many issues with it for me to justify choosing it over a 5.4 or v10 unless you just HAD to have it.

Yeah, I am really thinking about that 7.3 I spoke about in the thread I linked to above. It is a regular cab and while I could use the extra door/space, I could probably live with it. Finding a fairly low mile 7.3 is proving to be rather difficult.

I used to have the 5.4 in my f150 and at times was left wanting/needing more especially with the a/c on. Could never imagine it in a super duty, especially with any kind of load. Have to 6.0 now and what a world of difference, but tons more $ to maintain. Give the 3V V-10's a good look.

have 3 5.4l f250 that my company owns. we work them hard every day. very reliable and enough power to get a job done. just bought a 6.0l for myself. i love it i had to look hard and long and found one priced where it hasn't had any problems and if it does i don't feel shafted. the 5.4 will be working harder but sometimes money talks. i think both will do what you want
