    2000 mile trip report using 2021 F350 with 7.3 Godzilla V8

    Just got back from 2000 mile trip up the coast from northern California to Olympic Peninsula.
    I pulled my 2022 Solitude 310GK with a 2021 F350 and 7.3 Godzilla V8 with 430 gears, SRW, crew cab, long bed. Had no problems. Had plenty of power for hills and handling was good, no big reaction at all with big rigs passing . Very glad to have disc brakes on the 310. With Ford trailer brake controller set at 4 both rigs were nicely in synch when braking. Mileage was 6.6 to 8.7. Glad to have the 50 gallon tank that came with long bed option. saved a pantload filling up at Native American Casino stations. Both engine and trans temps stayed in normal range. While overall I really like the Ford 10 speed, I do not like the aggressive downshifts in tow haul, especially when downhill braking in sharp curves. Mostly I ran with 9 and 10 speed locked out unless on flat or slight downhill, and used manual shifter a lot, which was easy.
    So I am happy with my 7.3 setup, and would buy the same.
