You're right Dan,they have come a long way with the gas motors.Ford has another big gas one out and GMC has a monster about to be turned loose. I can't wait to see some real world numbers from these.

I think the big reason other than money over the 7.3 is the proven reliability of the 6.2 and 6 speed transmission. The 7.3 has only been out a year so may present issues as mile rack up and the 10 speed has had its issues because its newer too. Id love the 7.3 paired to the 6 speed as I’m still cautious of the 10 speed.

Exactly my thoughts. And now that the 6.2 and the 6 speed is gone, so are my hopes of buying a new F250. On the 7.3 I don't like that I can no longer access the valve lifters without cylinder head removal. This has been the case on many other recent pushrod engines, still, I liked the 6.2 better for that reason alone.

I have a 2019 with the 6.2 it has done everything I have ask of it I had previously owned a diesel good truck I pull a 20ft equipment trailer loaded with my tractor and equipment weighing around 12000 pounds and the 6.2 handles it no problem it fits my needs well the 6.2 has plenty of power for the work I do it really depends on the person and what they are going to be pulling if you got to pull alot more weight then the diesel is the way to go but the 6.2 is a proven engine for durability and is a great choice and the 6 speed transmission works well there is a little more shifting on hills but that's expected with less torque than the diesel but it has no problem .

I have a 2019 F250 4x4 crew cab with 8 foot bed, 6.2l gas with 4.30 gears. The truck is a beast and gets a pretty good average of 13.5 mpg, some of those miles I’m towing my 16’ enclosed trailer. It tows great and with a 48 gallon gas tank I can go a long ways. I love how people talk about the gas motor like it’s slow. These trucks are really fast, but I’m not racing anyone. And while they may not be quite as fast as the diesel, they are better in countless ways. They are 1,000 lbs lighter, $10,000 cheaper plus sales tax and interest, your front end will last longer with less weight, your handling is better with better weight distribution, gas engines are much simpler, cheaper and easier to repair, etc. I’ll give you an idea of what a pain in the butt the diesel is: If you have a gas motor you can actually get to your headlight bulbs and change them in a couple minutes with no tools. With a diesel you need to remove your entire grill and take off your headlight assemblies because the is no room under the hood. INSANE! It shouldn’t take an hour and a toolbox full or tools to change a headlight bulb.

The 6.2 is way more reliable than the 6.7 powerstroke, you shouldn’t be recommending the 6.7 to anyone towing under 15000 lbs, the 7.3 is a much better option. The 6.7 is a nightmare to work on and repair, maintenance costs are 3 to one over the gas engines.

This f250 does NOT have the FX4 off-road package, it’s just a regular 4x4

Most guys think they need the diesel but truthfully they only tow a couple times a month and is usually well below the capability of these engines. If you tow 10k to 15k on a daily basis or 15k to 20k from time to time go diesel. If you tow 10k to 15k from time to time go gas.

Yes and no. Ben didn't do as good a job of comparing the two types of engines as might be hoped for, but it is useful to compare them. Many are new to trucks or may have never had a diesel. A good comparison could help people make an informed decision as to which type of engine is best for their particular needs. The 6.2 V8 is a great engine for, say, a work truck that may only tow occasionally. Or, tow everyday if it's a small trailer. For example, this would be a great truck for a masonry crew. It would easily take four to the job site, could carry a large load of sand, cement, and lime in the bed, and tow a mixer. Similarly, if a handyman has a tool trailer that needs to be hauled to each job site, this could be a great truck. Plenty of room for the crew and an empty bed for hauling lumber and other supplies. For such situations, a diesel provides no real advantage. On the other hand, say you're hauling a flatbed that carries heavy equipment. You're going to want a diesel. Similarly, if you are a full time RVer that hauls a 40', fully loaded 5th wheel all across the USA, you're going to want a diesel.

A good review just not the kind some of us clicked for. In the 90's, I worked for Cummins, in the group that did calibrations/fuel mapping and field testing. I remember numbers like 385 HP being calibrations we loaded into 11L engines, with maybe 1350 drive...and we were pushing the 8.3L to 300HP! With 500HP (1750 ft-lbs)being our big power configuration for the 14L engines! Duty Cycle analysis for most "over the road", 80,000lb rig configurations, only required about 150 HP to keep the load moving at highway cruising speeds....the high horsepower was only used fractions of a percent of the overall duty cycle...accelerating and decelerating. All these years later....that big HP is in light duty pickups! I will take my 385-hp and be happy with it!
