2015 F-250 6.2L Gas Towing 7,600 dry camper
I currently have a 2015 F-250 6.2L V8 GAS CC SB 4x4. Max Towing 12,000 pounds. I am looking at a 2017 Jayco 32BHDS, Dry Weight 7,600 pounds. I am thinking loaded I will be closer to 9,500 pounds....

I pull a 5th wheel loaded just shy of 9400#(weighed) with a 2015 F250 6.2 3:73. I have no problems in the hills of Minnesota. Haven't towed in mountains, but for a gasser I am impressed with this truck. Use tow haul and pull at 60-62 mph and get 9.0 to 9.5 mpg.when not bucking winds.
likewise! I have a 2015 F250 6.2 CCSB 4x4 with 3.73's pulling ~8000lbs loaded in the north eastern hills, no regrets! and getting 9-10 mpg
I have Reese Dual Cam WDH with 1200lb bars
I originally wanted 4.30 gears, but couldn't find any on the lots with them, I would have had to special order the truck and wait 8 weeks. I got the best deal on a truck already on the lot so I went for it. (~8k off MSRP) Everyone said don't worry about the 3.73's for my weight and they were right. pulls nicely even in the hills and when I'm not towing it cruises nicely on the highway.
If I was closer to the upper range of the weight ratings I think the 4.30's would be a must, but for my needs the 3.73's are just fine and I would do it again!
