Nice F.
Not sure I would want to tow to the maximum on juice brakes with an automatic.

That 7.3L engine is interesting - I wonder what it's dimensions are compared to Coyote? Being OHV it will probably be narrower.

I think the initial info suggested as much when it was announced, but there's nothing lightweight init so could be quite a bit heavier

It was quite revealing that during the engineer's discussions at release, that the term turbo grade was used quite a bit. Pistons, conrods and inconel exhaust valves etc.
They used a lot of heavy duty parts in it to ensure durability. And which will also make it well suited to boost. |

But as it needs to be run in a truck (really a heavier duty ute) ... and used for decent towing purposes ... its built for reliability in mind as well.

I'm sure they will consider it. Many people have asked the question already over there.
