The 6.2l feels sufficient unloaded. Its peppy and gave me high hopes for towing. Under a load, its simply lacking. Now the chassis on the F250 is the greatest thing since sliced bread. This thing tows straight with confidence.
The bed barely squats with 1200lbs. I could forget I had a trailer, if not for the engine. And it goes down to the road just fine....well....unless the guy in front of you cuts a fart. Then you downshift to 3rd gear while turning over 3500 rpms. These are things my EB lugs out in 5th. Honestly, if I had towed before buying, I'd have bought another F150. There, I said it.
LMAO
If you look back to my post on page 3, I stated that the only way you would find an engine that would feel and preform like your EcoBoost would be to get a diesel!
If you feel that way now pulling 8K dry TT, what happens when DW wants a 5er at 35’ that weighs 12K+, maybe the dealer will let you swap for a 6.7 for very little loss.
