Towing with Ford's 6.2 gas engine

[Big_D1]

Anybody towing a camper with the  6.2 engine? Did you upgrade from the 5.4?

What was the power difference?

How about fuel mileage?

I've got a 7.3 right now that I pull our 5th wheel with, but I'm thinking about going to a gas engine.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

I think anything else will be disappointing after the 7.3L PSD.

That's probably true. But I'd still like to know.

If you go over to the FTE forum there are a lot of 6.2 being used to pull 5vers and loving it. We will be joining that group in May when the one we have order comes in  Remember you are going to a motor with 385 HP and 405 ft lbs of torque with a 6 speed transmission. We went with 4.30 gears like we have in our present 2000 V10.

I think the mileage drop will be a bigger shock than the power difference from your diesel. I haven't towed with the 6.2 but I feel that it pulled an empty truck better than my V10 in my Excursion.
