Re: 2017 F350 6.2 Gasser, 4.30 gears??

I originally had a F150 Ecoboost to pull our trailer, 9,000 lbs and it did the job but I worried about the payload. So as we have decided that a 5ver will be the next upgrade I decided to do the truck now. I had to order the 2017 but the 8 weeks went quick and I knew I was getting the truck I wanted. This 6.3 with the 4.30 handles great when towing and pulls the trailer with out an issue. I average about 9.1 mpg when towing and about 13 city as my daily driver. I don't think you will have any disappoint in going with the 6.2 and 4.30. You are making me feel better. Just in the process (2018 on order) of replacing my F150 Ecoboost with a F250 6.2 with 4.30's. Looking for increased stability but have been concerned about the torque curve of the 6.2. The Ecoboost is a GREAT towing engine. Yes the Ecoboost is great but now that I have the 350 I feel more comfortable towing and not having to worry about payload. I think the 6.2 is doing a great job, and considering I am getting the same tow mileage with it I am not complaining.701Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2017 F350 6.2 Gasser, 4.30 gears??

I have no grade shifting with my 2002, so I assume these new set-ups are a vast improvement? Also, for dantravelman, I noticed the F350 gasser gets a different tranny than the F250. I was told the F250 tranny was tuned for the 6.2, but I suppose the F350 tranny is equally impressive? I am very happy with the way the truck handles and the shifting seems smooth too. Some have said it shift from5 to 6 quick but I haven't noticed that.701Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2017 F350 6.2 Gasser, 4.30 gears??
