I think they have a pretty trick setup with that 250, and I like the 7.3. I know for a fact I would not be able to drive my Commander 1500 miles, wheel 5+ rated trails for a week straight, and then make the 1500 mile trip back home. For a dual purpose rig, it is pretty cool IMHO. The first go around on that truck with the 46 inch tires and 4 inch lift, not a big fan because there was no suspension travel and too much tire, but I like this time around.
