2020 Ford Superduty

[Machinebuilder]

Ford has finally put the pricing and build your own on the web

$1700 for the 7.3l gas

I had to look in shock when I saw one at a local dealer priced at $93000.....

IMHO a decent house shouldn’t cost that

Vehicle prices have gotten to the point of ridiculous. Would love to be an insider and see exactly what it cost ford to build it(labor and parts). I still have the dealer invoice from my Dads custom ordered 1969 F250 camper special; big block engine, auto, dual tanks, limited slip,disc brakes, E range tires. Total was about $2900 plus shipping. Talk about inflation

I think they just gave their employees a 6500.00, or maybe it was 9500.00, settlement bonus so that probably adds up.

$93K? Perhaps for a Roush Super Duty.

Just "built" a 2020 SD on Ford's website using my 2016 options. 6.5' bed, 6.7L, Lariat Ultimate 4x4 and all the options to include towing and brake controller...

$69K is still steep. But it is a 250,000 mile engine/20+ year truck if you take care of it.

I bought my '03 F-250 for $33k. Sold it in 2016 for $21K with 98k miles. So I consider SD's a good investment with a very decent ROI when you sell it to a private buyer.

I'll be watching the hauling mpg reports on the 7.3 with interest. I priced a 7.3 CCLB XL with some goodies for ~48K. I'd look hard at an XL to keep the price down.

House prices ... man, you have it good at 100K. Avg house in Canada ~440K (332K USD). Avg house in Vancouver is 1.2M (907K USD).

I can't find it, they may have changed their price. This one is "only $79K"

I'm waiting to see some real world reports on the 7.3. It will be a couple years before I buy. If I price what I would like its about $45-50K. the good thing is I think they will see a lot of fleet usage so the used and abused problems should come out quickly.

House prices here in East TN are still fairly reasonable, I think average is about $250K, but there are a lot of older smaller houses in the country for $150K, even some smaller new houses but they are a long way to anything.

Why do you think we are all living in truck campers?!?[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

i seem to remember that in the mid 1970’s those Vancouver houses were on 33 ft X 100 ft lots & in the $250k range. Blew the mind of this poor North Carolina boy at the time. My memory of that isn’t as crisp as it was, but I recall an article in The Province or The Vancouver Sun about housing prices

I was wandering the showroom at our local Chevy dealer while waiting to get my winter tires installed, or something like that. Anyways, they had a new Corvette priced around $80K Cdn..... then I looked at a flashy new 1ton diesel that was priced at close to $90K Cdn. It makes me wonder what lease or loan pmt's some of these people are paying that I see driving around in the newest flashiest trucks all the time.
I bought my 2014 Tundra as a low-mileage lease return for $30K Cdn. I was very happy with the price...and have been even happier with the truck.

As far as house pricing goes, we where in Whistler a couple weeks ago and friends were looking at houses. We went to an older section of Whistler and looked at a "cabin" on a basic regular sized lot. The cabin was 110% a tear-down, pos that had squatters living in it and it was listed for 1.4Million Cdn.

FYI the F-250 SD with a FWC will not fit through a 8’ door opening. Camper and truck height is roughly 8-3” to the top of the roof vents. The truck bare will barely clear a 7’ standard door opening. Yep I checked before considering buying the new F-250. My F-150 and FWC clears a 8’ opening with 1” to spare. Really like the looks of the F-250s 50-80k depending on the options. Guys tell me towing trailers with the 6.2 mileage 8-10 MPH.

I'm starting to temper my mpg hopes for the 7.3. I wonder if, at best, it will be the same as the 6.2.

I was thinking 12 for the 7.3, loaded to max gvw and mostly highway vs 14ish for the 6.7. Say ~ 20% better with the diesel. I'm getting 13 now with the 6.4 so 14ish should be reasonable (?) for the newer diesel with my use.

But the 7.3 might be 10 or less. Ugh, that's gonna take some accepting. Would hate to get under 10. Seems near criminal. Yet I'm kinda done with the diesel as fuel prices have inverted here and I don't really want to do the def thing.

Fingers crossed for the 10 speed benefit...

David, I love my 2006 diesel. Have you considered trying to find an older diesel with low km's?

 

[klahanie]

^ I'm happy for you brother.

Me, I not be complaining. Been a grand vehicle. When the time does come, we be going forward, not back.

 

[WjColdWater]

I asked a reputable dealer about the 7.3 / 10 speed MPH. He didn’t sound encouraged that it would be a mileage game changer.

7.3 gaser...10 speed...

Who could have guessed?
Probably designed to get you close to diesel torque numbers at miserable MPG, but, Ford hasn't released any numbers on the big gaser to date.

 

[Machinebuilder]

While I don't expect shocking gas mileage out of the 7.3L I do expect better than the older V10's. the newer engine controls are drastically better at monitoring and controlling the fuel delivery. BUT you're going to burn gas to make power.

I don't see how anyone can make any MPG claims at this point unless they have one and are using it, there are so few on the road.
I have been sort of watching and I am not seeing any MPG reports yet, Being a commercial vehicle over a certain GVW there are not mandated reports (look at the window stickers in clear language it says so).

IMHO the reason to get a 7.3L is to have the horsepower and torque when you don't need the diesel. At $8000 difference plus the added headaches of recent diesels, its hard to justify the cost.

I have heard many stories about Fleet operators wanting to get away from diesel engines for things like school buses, municipal trucks etc.

 

[WjColdWater]

No doubt the Ford lineup of trucks are well engineered. My neighbor is a farm implement dealer and a ford guy. He replaces trucks regularly all sizes and motor types. He tells me the Ford F-250 with the 6.2/6 speed is among the most dependable trucks he has in his fleet. I don’t think buying any Ford truck based on ones needs is a wrong move.

2015 Ford Super Duty w/6.2 4wd 14-17 w/Hawk towing boat, highway mileage

 

[klahanie]

^ That's pretty good. A few points lower for overall trip average and I'd be satisfied. Maybe the 6.2 is the way to go, IDK.

Although the 7.3 is avail in new light trucks, I'm seeing it most importantly as a replacement for the 6.8 in the med duty lines where buyers have moved somewhat away from diesel. The new engine should have improved fuel and emissions numbers as these are important to commercial users and new, higher standards are coming. Maybe not earth shattering differences but still a win for everyone I'd say.
