I have owned, in my opinion, some of the best 150 and 250 engines Ford has ever made (Straight six and two 7.3 PS) and I would go back and buy this one again, for all the same reasons mentioned above. I have only had it for about 3 months and have truly enjoyed it. I am moving in about a month and will tow about 9 to 10,000 lbs with it. I am looking forward to seeing how it does and comparing how it drove, while towing, to my last two trucks (both 7.3 PS).
There is practically no humidity in NM and I am moving to TX so I am a little nervous about what another thread calls the "high humidity falter" but we will see....
