No they don't. I wish Toyota would work with the Hilo diesel. They wouldnt get 60-65k from me though. Im done paying 50k for a pickup.
Question. Was the 7.3 ford motor as good as a cummins? People seem to think there even at least.
There is no question the 7.3L was a good motor. My dad has a 2001 F250 with a 7.3L that currently has 366,000 on it. It has never had any major motor work done. He kept it but this last year he bought a new 2014 F350 with the 6.7L . I cant see that there is any hope of his new $55K truck being as good as his 14 year old one. The maintenance costs for the 7.3L he has have been ridiculously insignificant. As far as the motor goes he has basically changed the oil and it had one set of injectors.
On the other hand my 6.0L had over $12K worth of work done to it while it was under warranty and I have spent at least another $5K. Motor has been out of the truck several times.
Since I got it all squared around it has been real solid though. The last 70K miles I have not had a lick of problems.
