Haven't ever been overly impressed with the ford gas line up since they left the push rod engines in the dust. High rpm hp engines. The 6.2 was a bit of a relief, but still no low end compared to the push rod engines. The v10 is a turd, and a gas hog doesn't seem to matter if it was loaded or unloaded. Then again so is ever 5.4l I've ever owned as well. I'm really hoping this new 7.3l does well. Even so my wife and I have been talking about vehicle replacement since our fleet is at least 20 years old now. I find myself wanting another diesel then wanting another gutless gasser. I'm ok with bad fuel milage as long as the power is there when I want/need it. Most likely the reason I've stuck with big blocks for towing. Push the pedal, up the hill you go. No need to mat it out and hop you don't loose half your speed till the top of the hill. Just my opinion of course.
