Neither truck is going to get 16 with those tires unless right conditions I'd say

Ya.... your not going to be able to run a big lift with big tires and expect good fuel mileage no matter what truck you pick.

The 7.3 has ATS trans parts, that's enough for me to walk away from it.

For the cost difference of the two trucks, you could pay to have that 6.0 bulletproofed and be in a MUCH better truck, better trans, more power etc...

JMO....

I've had two buddies with 6.0's, both crew cab, both short bed, both autos. Both avg'd around 13mpg, with Innovative tuning.
