Congrats on the truck. I test drove a new F250 a couple days ago as it was the only truck they had with the 6.2 gasser. "you don't want a diesel, are you crazy?" was the general response of the Ford sales staff which was reflected in their inventory of almost all diesels. 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?
Maybe they have changed something since my 2011 but as I posted earlier if I punched it I fear my camper would get ripped off. After 3 years and 22000 I have no regrets!! And my previous two trucks were CTD's.
