I got it for towing what I have. Actually, I had a slightly smaller trailer when I bought this truck. 5k GVWR for the old one, compared to 6500# GVWR now. And I did get the Twin Turbo for my trip to the Rockies. I'm hoping those turbos do what they are supposed to do, Keep me from losing so much power in the 7 to 10k range mountains.

Yes they will. You have it going on with that setup. The 3.73 axles and that low RPM range torque is the stuff.

Other than drinking fuel the 6.2 has shown itself to be a pretty strong motor. My 36FT camper weighs about 12K loaded and I don't even know its there.

yeah, BS. I’ve towed 10-14k with 6.7 power strokes and you can feel it back there.

I love the newer 6.2 Super Duties but I could not in any way justify owning one (don't tow, don't haul that regularly, the gas mileage would drain my wallet, probably wouldn't fit in my driveway). Nice looking truck though for sure.

The 6.7 engine is considerably heavier than the 6.2 gas engine. Combine that with a Lariat trim package and you only have about 2100 lbs payload on many F250 diesels. A 10K trailer along with 2-3 adults in the cab will just about max out payload. I've ridden quite a few miles in a SD with the diesel engine while pulling 10K. The engine will pull it up inclines at 80 mph without working hard, but due to the suspension being maxed out you know it's back there. The gas engines won't pull the weight as easily, but you have almost 1000 lbs more payload. I wouldn't be surprised if the gas engine handles the heavier loads better.

And to the OP, after a year how is your fuel mileage looking. I'm considering trading my 14 F150 for a 17 or newer F250 with the 6.2 and 3.73 gears. Financially it isn't a huge difference, but the fuel mileage is a concern. I just like the looks of the 4X4 F250's much better, especially the 17's and newer. I'd rather have that look from the factory than pay to modify my F150 with a lift. If it would get 17 hwy and 13 city I could live with that.

The F150 refresh totally whiffed on having a similar vertical level emblem infront of the door - my favorite detail on the SDs.

Just saying there is no lack of power, I can definitely feel the softerr ride, but as far as the motor, there is 0 loss of power.

I'm averaging 11.5 between highway and in town in the warmer months, colder months I lose about 2mpgs. That's according to the truck I haven't done my own calculations, but I also have a pretty heavy foot. I've gotten as good as 13 laying off of the gas

My FIL's 2013 shop truck with the 6.2 (F250 reg cab SRW with steel flatbed) was showing an average of 12.something mpg last time I borrowed it. Granted that truck is used for delivering big radiators to job sites so half of its road time it's carrying a load. That truck has 150K on it now and far as I know it has been very reliable for them. Sidenote they have a 2008 5.4 SD (same configuration) that is still kicking with 220K+ on it!
