A video I watched a few weeks ago, it was a 2020 f350 king ranch 6.7 but it had 3.55 gears. The way the guy talked, that's all that's available on it. I'd say that truck with 1,050 ft-lbs of torque with 4.30s would have semi pulling power lol

The DRW tables show a 3.55, 4.10 and for the 450 only a 4.30 gear set. The 350 DRW LWB 4x4 is set to pull 34700lbs

Check the ratios in the video. They used 3.31 with the 10 speed, compared to the 3.55 the 10 speed is within 9%. The 10 speed is a game changer for rear gears, no longer do they need to be short to pull. In fact the shorter gears handicapped the Tremor 7.3 tests, they couldn't do it in 1:1 like they did the 6.7 due to the speed limitations.

What, the cam phaser? Most cam in block V8's are VCT now. Dodge and GM are both doing it too. Phasers are here to stay until they come up with a better system of varying the cam timing.

Not news. Anyone following the Godzilla train would know it has variable cam timing. Still waiting on a normal dyno run from a non Tremor, ordinary run of the mill Superduty to see what it really puts out in a daily driver. The tested one with big heavy wheels and tires and short gears needed to be run in lower gears, unlike the Diesel which was run 1:1. I want to see a 1:1 pull with the 7.3. That Powerstroke was obscene on the dyno!
