6.0 or 7.3 - Diesel Forum

Lyruegas · 09-17-2003, 03:39 PM

Been looking to replace my wife's SUV and have decided to go with an X. Now I just need to decide whether to go with a 7.3 or a 6.0. There is still a good selection of 2003's left in the San Antonio area. One advantage is there is an additional $2000 rebate on non-6.0 X's (Now if they would only offer the 0% for 72 months like the Expedition--what more could one ask). Sounds like the 6.0 is a good powerplant (depending on when it was built). And the rest of the X appears to be solid. If you had to do all over again would you have gone with the 7.3 or the 6.0?

No choice there at all, go for the 6.0L. Great engine and the 5 speed auto is most likey the best tranny detroit has ever put into a medium duty truck.

My wife likes the 6.0/5 speed more than the 7.3/4 speed . [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hi, I have a 2004 6.0 Ex and have no problems so far with just over 1,100 miles. I know that is not many miles but plan to put alot more on it.As of right now I would go for the 6.0 and the 5spd auto is very nice.Good Luck. Davis

I had a 2000 7.3 and now have a 2003 6.0 both autos. The 6.0 setup is far superior when running correct. Hold out for a while until the 2004s have been out a while. I wish I had, more than I care to explain. If you have any doubts hang out in the 6.0 forum.
