The 6.2 has more power than my Chevy 6.0 and I'm good with how well it runs.
More power wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit but its far from being under powered. My truck has 3.73 gears and I'm good with that too.
I live in the Rocky Mountains so nothings flat here.
Truck, camper loaded and my ATV & trailer weigh under 12,000 lbs.
I think the new Ford 6.2 even with the 6-speed trans and 4.10 gears would be a great performer even in the higher altitudes.

My work truck has 4.88 gears. ^^^^ At that same RPM I'm cruising 87-88 mph in my pickup and that where I like it.

With those 4.88 gears even at 65 mph this diesel only gets 9 mpg. Empty.
