Sounds like a great truck this new F 250. That MPG is impressive and the 6.2 liter Ford gas V8, pumps out the ponies and torque. Can't recall what the figures are (know they're impressive) and what the power band is like.
Would assume the powerband is strong throughout the range...given the new technology...variable valve timing etc.
Nice pictures, but do you have any pictures of the side view ?
You know, I think the 3/4 ton truck with a big gas V8, engine is a worthwhile alternative to a diesel 3/4 ton.
Power, MPG, cost and I don't really hear too much about problems with gas V8's. Not saying diesel engines are problematic....but as the kid's say...'just saying'.

This is a pic I took with my 4wd trip tent
I have more pics in the B00ndock forum
I know the gas mpg is good as I hand calc and drive @ 65 like the Grandpa I am.
Thanks for the side picture. A really nice and useful truck. You drive like me....I'm both 65 and I drive at 65.... mph.;) Always with the cruise control on...if traffic is not too heavy.
