    Default Ford F-250 6.2L Gas

    I’m thinking about adding a 2018 Ford F-250 Gas Guzzler to the herd.
    What’s the goods and the bads?

    What do you gain by buying a gas 250 over a 150?

    I got one new last summer has been a great truck. Regularly tows 24 ft enclosed full of parts. No complaints. You gain the ability to see the road and not the sky when towing a heavy load vs the f 150

    It was a serious question. I realize now that it came off as snarky.

    All I know is the 2500 with the 6.0 and tires on it does good to pull itself...so gm would be out of the picture

    After a year of 10mpg , you could of justified the price for the power stroke.

    Not when it has a stroke, like it will absolutely do. If you aren’t towing daily, and aren’t a super narc with maintenance, get the gas.

    All I’ve done is change the oil and fuel filters so that’s a negative.

    My work truck and about a dozen others in the fleet have the 6.2. It’s Been a great engine for us. I get 10mpg on 33s no matter what kind of driving I do though. Mine is a 2011 and no issues so far.

    Edited to say a shift solenoid was replaced under warranty. But that was the only power train related problem.

    That will be my next truck. Good call on the 4.30's. People are scared to put some gear in a truck.

    I will stick with the after 2014 to present 5.3/GM direct injection power. It is awesome and good gas #'s to beat. Last 2100 on the GMC avg. is 18.7/mpg and that is pulling a boat and back and forth to Newberry Tennis

    I have a 2013 F350 4x4 CC 6.2l with 4.30 gears. It has 127,000 trouble free miles. I get 13 city, 17 highway, and 10 towing. I would never get a diesel unless I towed often and heavy. I love my truck!
