Anybody thinking about buying a new ride right now?

Yes.
Good-bye, 7.3 diesel.
Hello, 7.3 Godzilla.

 

This is what you get when you FUBAR your diesels so bad nobody wants to buy them.

You market 40 year old technology that there was nothing wrong with to begin with and market it as an upgrade.

 

I wouldn't buy a new diesel cuz, well, we all know what the issues are...
It's either Godzilla or throw the same $45K at my old 7.3PS.
The old 7.3 wants 4x2 to 4x4 and auto to manual conversions, a power upgrade and a professional (>$10K) paint job but, frankly, I'd rather not deal with diesel peculiarities at all...particularly when Godzilla outpulls the PowerStroke!

 

7.3 gas?

 

Yes. Available in F250 and F350 SuperDuty. Detuned versions available in their larger commercial trucks.

 

I really want the Pro. I’m not going to be ready to buy for a little bit. Unless your offer is too good to pass up.

 

I may be partial, but I feel the K5/6 Gix 1000 is right there too!

Fucking levers rock. I'm too old for buttons. They scare me. But mechanical levers and sticks and cables? I'm in.

 

The challenger is no sports car in the way the mustang/camaro have become, but the new widebody version (especially in scat pack form) is apparently quite the grip machine in the corners with it's upped springs and sway bars and such. Add to that the much more comfortable interior and space usability of the challenger over the smaller pony cars and I could see the benefits for all the days you're driving it 'not' on track. I also happen to like the widebody challenger looks much more than the 2020 Camaro and Mustang.

 

uhhh. Replace the windshield and 4 tires.....

 

The point is, I need a 4x4 and don't want to put $1500 into the truck to right around and get rid of it

 

The 2020 Camaro looks like ass from the factory I'll give you that. I have no idea why they changed it from the last couple years it looked and handled amazing

 

Where is the worst of CL thread.......Holy geezus man.....clean your fucking truck.

 

Right? I never did understand dirty pictures.. Isn't the best selling point?

 

Yes, I do. Red, relatively low mileage, IIRC. Loaned it to a longtime family friend, who expressed interest in riding. She never has, in a year and a half.

 

meh, i’m not a car lot

 

Not familiar with this engine. I thought the were still building the V-10's. Planning to get rid of my '05 6.0 diesel Excursion and get a new, or newer, gas super-duty 4wd. Care to school me on this 7.3?

 

I get that but people might get the idea that if you could care less about cleaning your truck to sell it, you might not care about maintaining it. Just a general carelessness about the vehicle as a whole.

 

New engine for this year. Google “Ford Godzilla” and you’ll find plenty of info.
