I just traded in my 2010 5.7l/4.30 tundra for a 2015 Ford f250 6.2 3.73 4x4 ccsb.
I only complaint I had about the tundra was the low payload capacity which is what brought me to a 3/4 ton truck. power and torque on the tundra was outstanding for a gas motor pulling ~7500lb TT!
now the ford feels much slower off the line with the 3.73's and ford's neutered tuning, but I'm hoping for a much better overall towing experience with the Ford. It will be at least 2 months before I get to pull the TT.
so far I'm very happy with the 6.2l Ford, I don't drive it like a race car so it's just fine for me. I might consider a tuner down the road, but many of the reports I've read give praise to the stock 6.2l/3.73 combo for anything up to 10k and some even report good results with heavier combos.
fuel mileage is right about 13mpg right now with a mix city/highway. the truck only has 1000 miles on it so it should get better once it breaks in and we come out of the winter fuel.
