Ford is killing GM in the HD gasser lineup. Not only with a bigger stronger motor, but have the 10 speed tranny, and in the 250 a choice between 3.55 and 4.30 rear ends. In the 350 it is 3.73, and 4.30. I’ve been driving my 6.0 for 18 years and it has been great, but decided to wait on the 2020’s to get a bigger engine, but was disappointed with the 6spd, so I’ve decided to wait a little longer and see what they do for 2022. If they still have the 6spd and no axle ratio options, I will go with the either the Ram or the Ford. I’m planning on going to about a 12k lb 5th wheel in a couple of years, and while the Chevy would pull it, the For and Ram will do it better.

I paid $31k for my 02 LT, and can sell it for $6-7k, so it has lost about $1300 a year over the last 18 years. I paid $31k for my 02 LT, and can sell it for $6-7k, so it has lost about $1300 a year over the last 18 years.

I’m driving a 2002 with the previous 6.0 engine, and it has 242,000 miles. It has been towed one time when a fuel pump went out at 195,000 miles. I’ve had a couple of oil leak repaired, and a radiator. I got 225,000 miles out of the original brake pads. im looking at the 6.6 gasser as it’s replacement, but it still runs great, and I’m having a hard time letting go of the money to get a new one.

Not happening in the 2021’s. Hopefully with the 2022s, but I have not seen anything.

Great info! Thanks for the update. Do you know if you have the rescue mirrow with the video screen if you can put the trailer camera view on the mirror?

Thanks!! I'd imagine you are done camping for a while.

What gear and RPM does it turn at 65 with the TT? My old 6.0 with the 4spd won't hold 4th, so I have to drop to 3rd and turn almost 3000rpms on the flats. Are you pleased with the way it handles the TT?

So while pulling a trailer down the road, you have to go through the menu, pull up the camera view to see behind you, and you only get that view for 8 seconds? That is really disappointing. I don't really want to pay for the invisible trailer option, I just wanted to be able to view behind me. I've been pulling campers and boats for 30 years with out it, so I guess I can live with out it, but I was looking forward to it.
