The truck made the power it was supposed to make and it ALWAYS got us there. But that was only towing 7,200lbs. You're talking 2 tons more than what I was towing. My GM engine was rated for 360 ft-lbs and 330HP. The Ford 6.2L V8 is rated for 434 ft-lbs and 411HP. Okay, that is more grunt than my GM engine, but those peak values are both above 4500 RPM.
Those are power numbers for the F150 version of the 6.2L which is no longer available after the 2014 year models. The current F250 6.2L is rated at 385 hp and 430 lb-ft. It used to have only 410 lb-ft in the 2016 and below yet due to the lower gearing of the 6R140 transmission, even then it was putting more torque to the wheels than the Hemi 6.4L with its 429lb-ft.
