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'm curious. Our truck takes short trips around town (dump / Lowe's) about 3k a year and tows another 3k a year. If I were to switch I'd like something quieter and with a better ride.
5er is 10k per the scales. So one idea I've thought about is buying a 6.2 gasser with the 4.30s, but it seems the 3.73 is way more common.
Anyway, fire away ... (now I'm going to duck and cover...) :B

  • Not a Ford 6.2L but we do own the newer GM 6.2L max tow with 3.73 and having gone from a Ford 7.3L, we are very pleased with its performance towing 10K in the mountains of the west. No plans to ever go bigger on a trailer, so there is no need to go back to diesel, when the newer gas rigs will do the job very well.
