Any regrets with the 7.3?

[Apparition]

Thank you for the corrections. They did say benchmark was 10 min and 4mpg for the 7.3.
GM 6.6 was 11:53 up the route.

Finally found the hemi vid.

They towed 14.3k in 10:29 and got 2.6 on the mpg readout.

Yep, I misheard them it was 10 min. 8 was the half tons. I'm not sure why they went up it so fast if it's 8 miles and the benchmark is 10 minutes you don't need to run it any faster than the benchmark speed which would have increased it's economy.

The goal was to go the speed limit of 55-60 if possible but making it up in 10 minutes was still acceptable

I think they said pulling heavier and heavier trailers(max tow ratings keep going up) they raised it 10. 6.7 pulling 30k up in that time is amazing.
