- My 14 f150 has treated me very well but now it's time for an upgrade. Please let me know what you guys think of these motors. Did I make a good choice?

Nice truck..
Just came across your page and see your a fellow Nebraskan, one more subscriber now!
Thank you. Yup, I'm in lincoln.
A little bit of noise….😉 more like a lot, but it’s ok. She’s been good.
I traded in a PowerBoost for a similar F-250 to the one you have because I worried about future repair bills on the hybrid. I really like diesel but I don't intend on towing maximum all the time, so I went with the 7.3 gas engine like yours. I also didn't want all the expense and maintenance. I like it so far, except for some reason the steering is vague, and is more pronounced on uneven roads. I have read that is a combination of the larger tires and the suspension setup Ford went with for 2023. I have to take it on for a recall on the rear camera so will tell them again about the steering.
The other thing the gas engine is non-turbo, non-hybrid, non start-stop, port injected. I think the one thing I would do to the engine is put a catch-can on it. Otherwise an exhaust to open up that V8, and a Banks iDash setup. I agree with you, no need for a Pedal Monster. If Ford Performance came out with a factory supported tune I would go with that, but otherwise no aftermarket stuff.
I contemplated the powerboost also but also feared the reliability and complexity of it. I definitely agree with the steering. I have an alignment appointment this week to look at that. The alignment is definitely off right now on it and it seems to have a good amount of bump steer. I'm not sure if that's a result of the bigger wider tires or not though. Supposedly this one had also had a level kit added to it by the previous owner. My only real complaint so far is the steering, but I think that should be fixable.
This is for everyone, wouldn't it be easier to just say 445.
I think it's all about that marketing. I think most people can't relate to cubic inches anymore.
