Towing with my new 2017 F250 CC gasser
Had my first trip pulling with my new F250 STX CC 6.2L 2wd gasser last week. Replaced my 2010 F250 XLT CC 5.4L 2wd. in Feb, the new truck is a pleasure to tow with. Pulled my 2015 KZ Sportsman 314B...

Good info, I tow at around 8000lbs, with a GM 6.0 gasser, but is an older one with the 4spd tranny, and 205K miles. It does well, but it needs just a little more umph, and another gear between 3-4.
I'd love to go diesel next year when my son turns 16, and I pass my truck to him, but I can't see spending all that money. I'll probably go gas, and it's great to hear these good reports towing weights similar to mine.
I'm in the southeast, so we don't have the super long climbs like out west, but we have a lot of steep short climbs in our little mountains. I've gotten down to 1st gear at 28mph, and 4000rpms on one hill.
Was in your boat with the older 6.0 and 4 speed trans. I have the 09 with 6.0 and 6 speed. There's a lot difference in how this newer truck pulls my 10k. So if your looking for an upgrade or change then either the gm or ford would be great. I can't speak for the dodge 6.4 cause I've never been in one. But the newer gas jobs with upgraded transmissions are much improved.
