Tell me about your 2011-16 F250 6.2L

Considering purchasing this generation F250 6.2L with around 100k miles. It will tow our 31' TT (Under 8k loaded), and unfortunately also be my daily driver for hauling two kids and general house duty.

I drive a '15 F150 5.0 now and really enjoy the truck, but it is *right at* my payload capacity and I just want a smoother towing experience with more safety margin. I'm aware an HDPP F150 will give me more payload, but they seem impossible to find.

What do you tow with your 6.2 Ford, and how has your experience been overall?

    I have a 2016 F250 CC 6.2L 2wd.. We pull a Jayco 27BHS weighting 7500 lbs. We get 8-9 mpg towing and 16 mpg highway running empty. It has been a great truck for a 7500 lb bumper pull. 70,000 on the odo and no problems at all.... Hope this helps...

    Thanks guys, seems everyone is pretty happy with these as a TV. I think we have decided to step into the aluminum body style to more closely match our current F150 which I really enjoy. Will take a bit more to save for it but I think we will be happy longer, especially daily driving in Michigan winters...
