Hello! I am in the process of purchasing a 2022 F350 with a 7.3L gas engine for my Scout Kenai (currently on order). This is my first truck and first truck camper, and I am debating between the 3.73 and 4.30 gear options. I am in the northeast and will be driving on plenty of hilly terrain. I went with the Kenai because I'll be using it year round, so I'll also be driving in plenty of muddy, slushy, snowy conditions. My young son will be in the car with me and I'll be driving slowly and carefully. I've been reading through the Super Duty Ford forums and folks are very split on the 3.73 vs 4.30 issue. Seems like the 4.3s are great for hills, but the 3.73s are better for fuel economy. I'd love to hear any thoughts or advice from those with truck camper experience. Oh, and the camper will be living more or less permanently on the truck. I'll be using another car as a daily driver. Thanks so much!
