RE: Ford 350 mile per gallon
Between 10-12 MPG US @ 65-70 MPH with 11,500 lb 5th wheel. Depends on terrain and wind.

RE: Ford Gas 6.2 vs 7.3
The 7.3L has been out for a couple of years now. It should be past any "birthing pains".
You definitely want the 3.73 axle. If you tow in the mountains much you probably should get the 4.10. if you stick with the F250, you will likely have to add helper springs.
That is NOT an option with the 7.3. It is either the 3.55 or the 4.30.
Maybe a bit of clarification. This is not the case with the F350. 3.73 is the standard rear end for all gas engines, 4.30 optional.

RE: Ford Gas 6.2 vs 7.3
Think you're pushing the limits of the 6.2.
Another consideration is 6 vs 10 speed transmission. If you go with a F250 with the 6.2, you get the 6 speed. F250 with the 7.3, you get the 10 speed.
If you get a F350, you get the 10 speed with both engines.

RE: Your Rig
Thanks folks.
Always bugs to work out with new rigs though. Fridge had been on gas for 20 hours since last evening and never cooled down. After the 20 hours the burner shut off. Back to the dealer Monday. Ruined a planned week long fall getaway.
After 8 RVs, this is my first Norcold fridge. Not a good first impression.

RE: Your Rig
Traded our '16 Outback for this '22 Reflection 337RLS. Think we're going to be happy with it.
