Have a 2012 f250 6.2, traded our 2008 f250 6.4 diesel for it. Average around 9 mpg. towing 8500 lb. loaded tt, 12 around town and 16 hwy.
Love the truck, tows tt easily and very comfortable to ride in. No problems whatsoever.
We had a few scares with the 6.4 diesel and really had no need for dealing with possible very expensive diesel repairs. The lower upfront cost and lower gas vs. diesel cost more than makes up for a couple mpg. deficit.
Fwiw, we also gained 400 lbs. payload with the 6.2
