I placed an order for our Tremor Lariat 7.3L back in June, no VIN yet so I can still change my mind and switch to the PowerStroke...
From reading the forums here, I can see the engine debate has been beaten to death but I figured I'd take a look from my specific use cases and ask if I missed anything obvious.
Ranking the use cases in order of 'how often'
Appreciate any input or opinions.
I think a test drive would probably solve this one for me but no dealers around me seem to have any 7.3L in stock. Neighbor has a 6.7 so I get that experience.
If anybody in the Seattle area with a 7.3L Tremor and wants to trade a ride / drive I can offer up a BMW M2 6-sp manual experience
and yes, I can see that what I really need is both

Ranking the use cases in order of 'how often'
Use Case | "Better" engine choice |
Short in-town trips to store and barn with hay and horse feed (Partial Daily Driver for Wife) | 7.3L Gas |
Towing an 8k bumper-pull 2 horse trailer | Either one works, Advantage 6.7 Diesel |
Being flat-towed behind a diesel pusher RV occasionally | 7.3L Gas (lighter by maybe 800lbs) |
Hunting trips, off-road use | 7.3L Gas |
Future possibility... 15k goose neck horse trailer | 6.7 Diesel |
