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?

    This is a good read about the trucks:

    I do not own one, but I have heard nothing but good about them.

    I have a 2011 ford f-250 with the 6.2 engine and pull a Outdoors RV 18rbs. It weighs around 6500 pounds loaded. The truck does great in the mountains, overall gas mileage is 9 miles per gallon.

    I've got a 2015. I pull a 39 ft fifth wheel. But, I only pull 600 miles a year in Michigan. It does fine for me, but if I pulled more,I'd have gone 8 ft box.
