Looking for Ford 6.2l info

[neilsleder]

My brother which is a huge dodge fan hit a deer with his work truck. While it was getting fix he rented a ford with a 6.2 in it. He really like it! He said it had really good power, decent fuel mileage. But he never pulled nothing with it.

Well I listen to our daughters boyfriend bitch about his work truck had a ford diesel with Baker and 2 days to a tank of fuel and now 2 tanks a day same routes and delivering drill bits.

I had a 2012 f250 with the 6.2 in it had just over 140000 kms when I traded it off. Zero problems with it. Kept it all stock and it pulled my 31' TT on a couple long trips down to great Falls Mt and rapid city SD. I found using the manual mode I could drop a gear for some hills and still keep the cruise on. It really liked to rev and pulled nice. When buying mine I noticed the f350's had a slightly lower hp and torque #'s. Not sure why that is. Probably gearing options that you can only get with 1 tons?.

Looking at getting rid of the old 6L Superduty & would like to know what guys think of the F250 or 350 SD with the 6.2L gas. Who's running one? What's mods if any? Mileage you get & any know issues?

Thanks[/QUOTE

hey man i got a2011 250 6.2, i love this truck, i pull lots with it, from dump trailers and my 5th wheel and quad trailer or boat behind it an it pulls great, its all stock except for the exhaust, i get about 12l/100km just driving normal and about 21l/100km pulling my b train, very good truck with no issues yet,

Those numbers are nothing like the 3 we had. 16-18 empty and with a 12K lb. trailer it was in the 30's. Made one trip to PG from Edmonton and got 38

Gear ratio makes a huge difference.

I have a 2013 F350 with the 373 rear end (I had no choice at the time of purchase). Running empty I have been in the low 13/100 and pulling the 25' TT (a heavy 4 season with one pull out) out to the west coast and back is was 28/100. Great truck and like Chrisp1 mentioned the manual mode is nice and you can control the shifting a little better to your own liking.

No issues so far at 65,000 and just oil and filters.

It looks like the hardest thing is finding a rig with anything but 3.73 gearing. Without ordering a brand new truck.
And that isnt going to happen on my budget.
So if its 3.73 gearing only it isnt that big a deal since you can run the truck by shifting manually??

Well if you have two trucks to sell Jeremy drop me a PM or put some pics & info on here for me.

What kinda fuel milage u think a guy would get if he were to put a level and 33s on the 6.2 with a sled deck and two sleds? Do u think that would drastically change fuel milage? At 1000 pounds for two sleds and say 500 pounds for a deck?

2 sleds on my dually made almost no difference in mileage, maybe 1l per 100km more consumption

Well pulled the trigger & bought a brand new 2016 F350 SD Lariat CC with 6.2L There is none in Alberta with a 4.30 gearing unless you find a dually or special order a 2017..
With 0% I couldnt say no. First new truck Ive ever bought. Now to throw on a few goodies but this truck is so loaded its crazy!!

I'm curious to see what kinda fuel milage it gets... if it's anything decent while haling two sleds on a deck I may vary well convert from diesel to the 6.2.

22-25 L/100 loaded .
At least that was mine with 4:30 ratio.

Deck with two sleds . CC long box F250.
Pulling 8000lbs was about the same.

It was a 2011 and ran it for 100000 Kms. Good truck but rough.
Not one problem.
Replaced with my first Duramax . "2012 "
Have 150000 on Duramax.
It is parked for most of the time now as run a 1/2 ton other then for pulling heavy loads or hauling sleds on deck.
For me I am lucky to have both but if I had to have one it would be a gas truck and would rent a diesel if I real needed it .
Can't believe all the peeps that drive a diesel to pull a big holiday trailer for two weeks a year. "Rent one "
IMO

That's my issues I have a cummins.... and I only pull sleds on a deck with it... kind of thinking that it may be time to get more realistic. Otherwise it runs empty the rest of the year...
