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.Does anyone have any experience towing this weight with an F-250/2500 Gas HD truck? I know that I will be at 75% of my tow rating, and I am not looking to win any races.... but, numbers and "feel" are 2 different things in my book. Looking for some real world feedback I currently have a Jayco 29QBS (6,600 # dry) so I will be the same length but about 1,000 pounds heavier.TIA!

I have a 2016 for 6.2l and tow about 6000lbs. Tows great, won't win any races. With a weight distribution hitch easy towing. What axle do you have? Do you use a weight distribution hitch?

I have the 3.73 ELS.Yes I have a Reese WDH with 1,200 # bars.

I have a 34 foot gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters that weighs approx. 14,000 lbs that I pull with a 2013 F350 Dually CC with 6.2 engine and 4.30 rear end. Truck pulls this trailer with no problems - traded a 2006 6.0PSD F250 for the 6.2 gas engine with no regrets - I pulled the above trailer with both trucks and both pulled it equally well- you just have to learn to keep the gas engine in the higher rpm ranges. The 4.30 gears are awesome and only hurt the mpg about 1 mpg. I believe you will be very impressed with the 6.2 engine. Mileage towing above trailer at posted speed limits is between 8 and 9 mpg. Empty is around 14 to 15 highway at posted speed limits. Good luck

I don't tow with a ford, but have a gas gmc. I see no issues with what your going to tow. Keep the RPMs up in the hills and enjoy the ride. The 6.2 appears to be a good engine, I have heard no negatives with it. Towing with a gas engine is not difficult, you will drop a gear or 2 on the hills pretty quick at times and run Higher RPMs. No issues with this, let it do what it designed to do. This coming from a guy who has pulled with both gas and diesel and stuck with gas.

We just purchased our first bumper pull travel trailer and are pulling it with a 2015 Ford F250, 6.2 gas engine. No problems at all so far. Plenty of power and the truck is very stable when towing the trailer. I have a WD hitch setup. We have a 26' Palomino Puma, 26RLSS. Loaded weight is around 8900 lbs. My F250 has 3.73 rear end as I recall.Gas mileage is holding around 8.0 while pulling the trailer at 65MPH in hilly terrain in eastern Kansas and over small mountains in Oklahoma.Jeff
