For those who have owned a 1999-2003 Ford 7.3L diesel and gone to the Ford 6.2L gas engine, have you noticed a difference towing your travel trailer?

Have the higher RPMs been problematic to you/or spouse over a long eight hour trip towing? How about towing mileage differences?

I know the Ford F-250 & F-350 are wonderfully nice trucks with great creature comforts, but if you had it do to over, would you do it again? Thanks in advance.

I have not owned a 7.3 diesel for comparison. I have been around them however, and they are a great, but noisy engine. If that rattle did not bother you, you'll love the 6.2 sound.

The 6.2 is a smooth, easy revving engine, with good power. The 6-speed transmission makes this a super puller.

I tow at 60-62 mph, and will average 9 mpg, which I think is good. I have to say, that the non towing mileage is not the best, 13-14 as I recall. I don't use mine as a daily driver.

I don't remember hearing any problems with the 6.2, since they started using them in the Super Duty. Mine is a 13, and am very satisfied with it.
