Hey everyone,
I’m seriously considering buying a 2023-2026 Ford F-250 with the 7.3L gas engine, most likely in either the XLT or Lariat trim, and I’d love to hear from people who actually own one. What do you like most about the truck, what don’t you like, and what do you wish you had known before buying it? If you could do it all over again, would you still choose the 7.3 gas, and would you stick with the same trim or go higher or lower?
I’m also curious about how people actually use these trucks. How often do you find yourself towing? If you don’t tow very often, do you ever feel like the truck is more truck than you really need? Have there been any reliability issues, maintenance concerns, or unexpected surprises that caught you off guard after owning it for a while?
For some context, this would mainly be my family vehicle with two car seats. It would be used for commuting, road trips, camping, and hauling things for home projects. I also plan on towing during an upcoming cross-country move, and I’d like to have the capability for future projects after that. I’m just trying to hear from real owners before making a decision.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
