    The 7.3 pulls the weight,  it just doesnt pull it fast.   I have to really watch the egts on steep hills. My state doesn't have inspections so I have mods that would not fly in many other states from tuner to exhaust.  Im sub 300hp and I know it when I'm trying to get on the hwy 

    The 6.7, especially with a tune and def delete would likely pull 10k at 12 or so mpg  and you'd not notice it back there.

    I still haven't pulled my boat since I got my 7.3 diesel all built and running great. The only times I have towed it I was creating zero boost and it still pulled it with ease. Now that I fixed all the turbo leaks and make easily over 20 psi I am sure it will make a big difference.
