My test drive was dissapointing in that there was a significant lag between pushing the accelerator and the truck actually moving. Kind of like the turbo lag in the early turbo engines. Is this normal? Is it because the truck was empty? I know that there is lots of reserve power in the 6.2L but I drive an extended cargo van with a 4.8L gas engine carrying probably 2,000lbs of stuff that is lots zippier than this truck was. When I was on the freeway doinbg maybe 40MPG and punched it, it was scarry how slow it was to respond. Perhaps I should find another 6.2L to test drive?
Seems zippy enough driving it around empty, but there's no comparison with my Audi A4 that's my daily driver :-). There was some discussion about this on the Ford Enthusiast Forum. I know the auto transmission "learns" your driving style and responds accordingly. You can reset it and have it relearn apparently, although I never tried it. Also, the F250 and F350 have different HP/Torque numbers so they are obviously tuned differently.
They use the same identical engine. Horsepower and torque numbers are taken at a lower RPM for the one ton vs. 3/4 ton trucks.
We did the same thing. I bought the truck first then waited a year or so to buy our Lance. Could not afford to take a hit on both at the same time. It was a lonnnng year of waiting!
