6.2 Ford gasser reviews?

Looking for Ford 6.2 liter gasser reviews. Last October I bought a 2017 Ford 250 6.2 gasser. I'm towing our 7500lb approx ready to camp TT.

Looking for reviews from 6.2 owners from the real world. After 8k miles about 5k miles towing I am very happy.

I know all specific engines have personality so other than routine maintenance is there anything that I need to know about the 6.2 ? From owners with more miles than me.

This engine is a beast towing. I have the 3.73 rear end which is fine for our TT it tows like a utility trailer.

Experience for me from Ford has been good. I drive my 2000 f150 5.4 triton daily. 118k trouble free miles.

The company I worked with for 28 years used the gas e350 v8 gas vans and would get 200 to 300k miles with routine maintenace. My last van was a 1998 e350 with 345k miles with only a fuel pump replacement.

Most likely more reliable than their diesel.

Well I don't have one sorry. However I will say that I have a coworker that does and has nothing but good to say about it. It's a great truck no doubt. When he pulls his camper he reported 7.5-8.0 mpgs. Empty he said 15 highway. I just don't know if he's got the 3:73 or 4:30, and I don't know the actual weight of his camper. I know it's about 34 foot like mine. And to add, I had one guy come in for OT a few weeks back and he owns a Ford 6.0 diesel. He's still getting it repaired and has about 10g into it. I don't know specifics but he said he's going to finish getting it fixed and sell, then picking up the 18 F250 with the 6.2. So I will report on that when he gets it and tows his race car trailers up to TN.

If I ever sell my 7.3 ford, I will consider a 6.2 with the 4.30 rear gears. All the reviews sound great. With that being said, I hope I don’t have to replace my 7.3 for a long time!
