Have there been any magazine tests of trailer towing fuel economy against Stellantis and GM pickups?

Has Ford issued a considerable number of TSB’s ?

Do you have to remove the entire pickup cab to replace a blown fuse?

Ford has tweaked it some as a crate engine:

sample quote

The most significant changes come under the skin, with H-beam connecting rods, forged pistons, and a forged crankshaft. The cylinder heads are CNC polished, while the low-profile intake manifold houses a 92-millimeter throttle body from the Mustang GT500. Ford says the design is compact enough to fit in cars and trucks, so we could see this engine make an appearance in several models down the line. For now, though, it will go on sale as a crate engine, which should be available starting in the spring of 2023. Pricing is as yet unknown, but the base Godzilla crate engine costs $9,175, so expect Megazilla to cost considerably more, perhaps in the $15,000 region.

I am curious whether modern diesels ULSD price, DEF cost, and particulate matter filter re-gen headaches
make gasoline trailer towing less per mile



I don't have any useful experience with the 7.3 yet but I find it odd that ford finally realized emissions and MPG could be done with this combo but suddenly dodge can't? The hemi has better low lift flow but basically everything ferd did with this engine is exactly what dodge has been doing with the hemi.
