I had a 2014 F250 gas 6.2 if I remember correctly 3:72 and i thought it was a dog towing 8000 pound pull behind. But i came from a diesel not even close. Going up I-77 in WV had to stay in truck lane with the gas and got 5 MPG. I am now back to Diesel.

I get 8 to 9mpg towing that much, about 11 to 12 towing a 3 horse trailer. My old V10 only gave about 9.5 towing the horse trailer and was not nearly as strong. Even if you don't care about how much you spend on fuel the range is nice. That is a big reason that I did not go with a 250 on my last truck.
