Any Superduty Gas 6.2L User Reports?
6.2L 1/2 tons need not respond. Looking for some real world towing and daily driving experiences and numbers. I'm having a hard time justifying a diesel as a daily driver anymore when I only tow 1...

I'm happy with the 6.2 but I think you are going to lose out financially. The 6.2 will depreciate more/faster than the 6.7 in addition to the loss you will take trading your 6.7. Save the money you would lose for future maintenance/repairs.
How do you figure gas depreciates faster? The guides don't ask "if it's a gasser, deduct depreciation at the rate of x". The used diesel has a adder of about $7000. It seems that's the spread between a comparable gasser and diesel... Not any more or less.
I agree with loss on trading, though. Unfortunately, the way the market has gone, I think high end diesels such as a King Ranch will price out close to $75-80k after the redesign in 2017. That should jump up used prices.
Just basing it on what I found when searching last year. The used 1-2yr old 6.7's with 50k miles were maybe $5k less than a new carryover. Crazy. I could not justify spending more money for a used 6.7 with 50-80k miles than I spent on my new 6.2. I drive 10,000 miles/yr with the truck so that's 5-8 yrs old to me. They hold their value very well.
