Would like to hear from Ford 6.2 Owners...
Hi folks, At the risk of starting another flame war, or diesel vs gas thread ... I'd like to hear from people who actually own and tow with these trucks. No I'm not selling my 7.3 anytime soon but...

I have a theory,but need someone to add their .02 worth. I would think that a truck with the 4.30 rear end would get better in-town gas mileage as opposed to the 3.73's. My thought is that with the 4.30's you will be able to get the truck moving from a stop with less gas pedal.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated because I'm looking at getting a truck this fall, and this is one of the decisions that I'm tossing around.
from what I read, the difference is 4:30 gets 1 mpg less. Not much difference. The rule of thumb with the 6.2 seems to be towing above 10,000 lbs get the 4:30.
I have the 3:73 and empty it shift out of 1st pretty quick, I doubt there is in city mpg difference.
