Ford 6.2 L opinions
I'm looking at trading up maybe within the next year or two, and was wondering what the consensus is on the performance of the 6.2L in an F250/350 supercab/crewcab. Don't want a diesel, so not going there.

- You will like the added power of the 6.2, compared to the 5.4! What you will really notice, is the great transmission. It does a super job, keeping the 6.2 power where it needs to be, and lets you manually control things, to suit your needs, when you want.
Jerry - My work truck is a F350 with the 6.2, definitely a stout engine and transmission.
- We tow the same TT as you. The f250 6.2l 6 speed with 3.73's tows fine. There are some hills where it down shifts however all considered its a great TV. the 298 loaded is almost 4 tons, so im very happy with this trucks performance. Eventually we will sell the 298 and get a 5th wheel. Thats why we bought this truck
- I've towed 10k with mine for the last 4 years. Love it. Had a '08 V10 before that. It tows just as good or maybe a bit better than the V10
I lock out 6th and use tow haul most of the time.
Fuel mileage is usually 8-9. It loves to work.
Only issue I've had was an exhaust manifold. - Bout as good as you'll get with a gasser. Have had 2, not high miles, but zero issues with both. Transmission is spot on for towing as well.
I think the Hemi has a few more ponies, not sure where the old 6.0 Chebby stands right now, but they're all similar in power and final drive ratios will make more difference than the power diff between them IMO. - It's a great engine.
