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. I had to order my F350 DRW as I wanted a 2wd with 4.30 gears with a gas engine - odds of finding that combination on a dealer lot is slim to none. If you're not ever going to tow a heavier trailer than what you have now, the 3.73 gears will probably be fine. 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'm not trolling or trying to start something, I just wanted to comment on your comparison so please don't take it the wrong way. Towing with the 6.0 Powerstroke is no where near the same experience as towing with any of the new diesels on the market so I hope you wasn't trying to make you findings about towing with the 6.2 compared to towing with a diesel.The new diesels are a whole different breed. ;)
