Looking for Ford 6.2l info

[pfi572]

Just about went to the heavy 1/2 Ford with 8 foot box when I went to Duramax.
Really good pay load and cheap to purchase.
Only available in xlt and extra cab but good ride and cheap to operate.
Have a couple friends that run them.

Thanks PFI for all the info. The exacts reason why I'm getting rid of diesel & going gasser. Bought a diesel to haul TT, & never ended up going anywhere with it. Have a lake lot about 40min from home & trailer gets hauled out in spring & then pulled out in fall. Diesel sits & doesn't get used. So when I do finally drive it in the winter I have mech issues after its sat all summer or only used on a couple wknds.
i went with the bigger F350 SD again only because I like the size & ride of the truck. My daughter has a 14' F150 rides nice but I just like the full size truck more.

I go pick the new ride up nxt wk. can't wait. Will be my first New ride ever. Always looked after wife having brand new, but now she's gone & I get to have something myself

I'm not reading this whole thread so I'm not sure what info was shared, but will comment on the engine, I liked the 6.2l gas in my 350 service truck, good power and was fairly decent on gas. My plan was to buy it from the company and stick a deck on it for sled hauling I liked it that much, but things didn't go as planned.

I have a 2011 f-250 6.2, 3.73, 35" tires and levelling kit, got 2.5" blocks from a f350 to make the truck sit nice. on the highway it gets anywhere from 16-21L/100km depending on my driving. With 2 sleds on deck it gets between 22-32L/100km depending on speed/snow on road/4x4 etc.. i find the wind resistance of the 2 sleds sticking out on the deck affect the milage more than if i haul a travel trailer. 120000kms no issues, just oil changes, i bought extended warranty and eveything havent used it once. oh well. truck got better mileage before level kit and 35" tires.

I seen quite a few 6.2l f-350s this week in the hills. I never got to ask their owners for their opinions but seems like they are getting more popular

I just brought home a new 2015 F250 CC w/6.2L in XLT trim. Has every option I was looking for except 4.30 gears, like others have said only way to get is to order a new truck. The rebates and incentives on remaining 2015's were too good to pass up. Considering the price of used '11's to '15's and the kms on them, a new truck was only slightly more than buying a used low mileage.

That's funny. I bought a 16 because they told me there were no rebates or incentives on the 15s.
Made no sense but I got the price I could afford on a fully loaded 16 so I'm still happy with what I got.

 

[pfi572]

Yeh I don't know why dealers don't bring in a few 4:30 ratio trucks?
I had to order mine at the time also.
Sales men always try and talk you out of it .
Only took 4 weeks though.

Ill just have to learn how to shift it manually to get more pwr & mileage out of her. Got the first 400Kms on her getting her home. Deffinatly a different pwr from my old 6.0L diesel.
Not sure the mielage Im getting yet. But 91L to 421Kms was what I read off the dash this morning.

 

[carguy]

To early to place value on truck mileage hen new, that said I put in 48L when I arrived home after driving 287 km.

 

[NorthstaRmk]

I find eliminating 6th gear when loaded helps a lot, 5th gear helps prevent the inevitable shift swings from 6 down to 4 and then back to 6 non stop.

Any more fuel milage updates

I have a 2012 6.2 with 35's. With the sleds and gear I will get 550km per tank.

Picked up a 2015 f350 crew long with 6.2l. previously had a 08 dodge 3500 diesel. mileage is about the same on highway at 15l/100. little less pulling power than the diesel. but warms up quickly, decent on fuel, fun to drive and i dont worry about injectors and all the rest of the diesel stuff. also has a huge payload difference than my dodge , almost 1500lbs more. hey Vance, would love to see your truck with the 35's. thinking about doing the same.

Bigger rubber equals more fuel and reduced power.

 

[boxer]

Yep, but it looks sooo good!!!

A little bit not enough to care about
