Ford 6.2 VS 6.8
I'm going to be buying a tow vehicle soon and would like some opinions and information about these two. I won't be pulling a whole lot but do have one trip from just south of Louisville, Ky. to Alaska planned for next year. I don't want to buy a diesel because of the extra cost and the cost if something does go wrong with it. My 5th wheel dry weight is only about 7,500 lbs.
From what I've read the 6.2 will get better gas mileage empty but the 6.8 has more torque at lower rpms. I'd appreciate it if the people who have owned either one of these and especially the ones of you who have owned both would give me some information and thoughts on the reliability, fuel mileage and any other info about these two engines.
I've located a 2009 6.8 with low mileage that I may be able to get for a good price but am not sure about it because of the age.
Thanks in advance for all replies. Danny
