Not the same but I'll throw in my measly .02.
I went back to the 6.2L two years ago when we sold the Cyclone 5er. No sense in keeping the F450 so I sold them both and since we were without a camper for awhile, I went back to gas because it is less of a hassle as a daily driver plus it does well pulling my landscape equipment.
But sure enough, we bought a Work & Play TT last year. The 6.2L has done the job but as Crickeydog mentioned, I got to where I couldn't stand the screaming of that thing pulling hills, etc..
Mine has the 3.73 so we're not comparing perfect apples to apples, I know. But our Work & Play isn't as heavy as most 5ers either.
I'm keeping the 6.2L for my business but this past Wednesday, picked up a 2015 F350 6.7L SRW.
One note to add. We take many trips throughout the year because I race ATVs and we do a church ministry there. So we do 14-16 trips per year at an average 500 miles round trip each time. If we only did a couple of trips per year, it wouldn't be too bad. But we RV a lot. Not to mention, I couldn't imagine using that set-up if we ever head back down to Disneyworld.
Between my business and my racing, I just felt I was killing that truck fast.
