I've only dealt with Fords, and they all had the 7.3 Powerstroke and I love all of them.
2002 Excursion 7.3 - My moms truck. shits intense, full exhaust, chipped, intake and soon to be propane injected. They tow 4 bikes every year to Daytona and Lake George and a few other places and they love the truck to death.
2001 F250 7.3 6 speed- Loved driving it, soo easy to tow one car.
and a few 7.3 vans my father brought home from work.
One thing I really like about the 7.3's is that it takes ALOT to kill it. Some vans had over 200k miles all in NYC and I know for a fact not one single mile out of all of those were easy on the truck. The only real problem is some of the trucks have minor electrical problems, stupid little shits that are easy fixes but everyone blows them out of proportion.
