Im very happy with the Ford 6.2 gas engine that came out in 2010 with a model year 2011. Milage is very good for a gasser, almost 15mpg highway empty, and 10-12 with a fairly heavy camper. Power is very good.Having switched from a late model diesel. I find maintaince is much cheaper and given the .40 cent differance in diesel and regular, diesel no longer has economy on its side. Diesel still has the power advantage but the 6.2 ,while not having as much pull, is more than adequite for the job of hauling a TC. Theres my 2 cents.
On edit. I have a 4.3 rear which makes a differance hauling the TC. I cant give an opinion on a 6.2 with a 3.73 but I suspect it doesnt have the same umph as my configuration.
Have you driven in the mountains? I have the same question, but hear that mountain driving (for me rockies), which I do some of, is where gas lags and diesel shines.
