I have a 2019 F250 SXT with the 6.2. I honestly think it is the most underrated truck out there. It is so easy to service, tows great, and will last a long time. I don't know why it doesn't get more attention. Thanks for posting......keep it up.
If you want a bit more power, check out a 5-Star tune or the Livernois cam kit. IF you want to keep the truck a while to justify extra money, that is. I had a 17 6.2 F350 w/ 3.73 that was wonderful. When you know how to tow properly, you can get a lot out of these gas machines w/ much less expense and headaches than diesel (in my opinion).
I just got my '21 F250 6.2 w/ 3.73 gears a month ago and towed my camper with it this weekend. Ordered a truck with the 4.30 gears but it is waiting in the chip shortage so I took a similar truck that had the 3.73 gears. Runs about 2,100 RPM at 65 in 5th gear. Tows the camper very easily. If I got to the Toyo AT 3 tires that are 34.8" tall, it will cut the RPMs to about 2,000. That is pretty low but not too significant I guess. The 4.30 gears would have put it about 2,300 RPM which would be more in the power band. Overall, I love the truck and engine combo.
I agree with David & Chrissy 100%. The 6.2 is sufficient & get the job done & reliability is outstanding. Bigger has its purpose but not always needed. Thanks for video.
I have a 2020 F-250 w/ 6.2 and 3.73 gears. I pull up to 12,500# or less and the truck does exactly what I need. Maintence is less expensive than the diesel I had previously. Good video- thanks. BTW……. A 50 series dual out muffler lets the 6.2 breathe better.
How is that exhaust for drone? I want an exhaust on the 6.2 I'm about to get bur also don't want the wife to scream at me..... again😂. I'm thinking about the force 2 with the super 50 HD muffler. Should be best of both worlds
@@clinth4661 The muffler was a flow master clone. Nice sound without the loud drone in the cab. I recommend tailpipes all the way out the back to help with cab noise.
Ive pulled up to 18,000lbs with my 2013 6.2 with 3.73s and 35s. She was sluggish to get goin but she did it. Normally tow 12-13,000 no issues. Would definitey like the 4.30s. I think if I got a new one tomorrow itd probably be another 6.2
@Ford trailer was so was probably over 25,000 combined. First time gettin loaded at the gravel pit. Loader didn't have scales on it and it was pouring rain loaded with soaking wet 3 inch minus. And when I ran over the main scale it's in kg so I was like ya OK. Did the conversion to pounds when I got home and just about shit myself, lol
I have my 2 7.3 powerstrokes im Restoring and making them show trucks iv been looking at a 6.2 and iv heard good things about them may buy one who knows but you have a nice truck
Sir. I had a 2012 with 6.2 430 gr and worked it to death I sold it with 378,467 and not even a trans issue no motor and my cousin and still pulls a 9000 lb + travel trailer I bought a 2021 7.3 430 gr and it’s a beast
I just bought a 22 f350 srw single cab 6.2 6 speed tranny and 3.73 gears. I really like it so far. It had 1460 miles on it and was bought for a tax break. I wanted it because of the 6.2, didnt want a 23 with the 6.8. I dont think I have ever seen anything negative on the 6.2.
I have basically the same truck as this . If you take off the stock exhaust system cat back . Put a magnaflo exhausted system it will really open it up and turn it into more of a beast.
We jumped into a '22 F250 with the 6.2 from an '11 F150 3.5l. I didn't need an increase in towing capacity I needed payload. 4 adults in the car + WD hitch didn't leave much left over for tongue weight of my light (4700lb dry!) trailer. I was 300+ lb over, and that was assuming there was NOTHING else besides just us in the truck. I could have gone with a HD payload package F150 but decided I just didn't want to ever worry about payload again (I don't envision dragging a huge 5th wheel). My fault for not looking closer when we bought the '11 to replace our previous tow vehicle. That and my kids have grown into almost adults since we bought the truck. The 7.3l comes with the 10spd in the 250. The 6.2l comes with the 6spd. I saw enough griping about that transmission that I opted for the 6.2l. Like I said above - I'm not going to be taxing it, godzilla was $2k more.
I bought a 2017 F350 in Sept. 2020 with 3:73 gears and the camper package. Towing a TT at about 6300 Lbs and it struggles on some longer hills, especially when towing behind my brother in his 2013 diesel towing a 10k Lb 5th wheel. I have to hang back. Always wonder if upgrading to 4:30 would level that off a bit given how less weight I tow than him. It's either upgrade my gears to get to a 7.3 with 4:30 gears in a few years. That said, I LOVE this truck.
@@kenj.8897 Having towed a lot more since I posted that, I think I was just unfamiliar with how the engine should sound and how I should adjust acceleration on a long hill. No complaints. Tows great and gets 520 miles (w/o trailer) on a single tank when we drive to Myrtle Beach in the summer.
4:30s should be a standard imo I own a 2011 6.2 use it for plowing snow and pulling but being it’s a regular cab I’m on the hunt for a used 6.2 and everyone is 3:73… 4:30s seem to be like unicorns in these trucks… anyhow the 2011 is a work horse them gears help in the heavy wet snow… glad to see the 6.2 finally getting some rep on UA-cam especially for pulling
I'm looking at a 2022 f250 with the6.2 , extended cab which I know isn't a favorite for most but I like the way they look leveled out with a nice wheel/tire combo. It's a 373 gear. I tow a 8000 pound 36 foot toy hauler that's about 9500 pounds loaded. Will this handle it fine or should I order one with a 430 gear? Thanks for your input.
You have to be realistic about how much you are going to pull camper and the terrain. I live in some hills but mostly flat land. I got the 4:30’s because I sometime use mine for work as shown here. Also I was interested in larger tires. You can get by just fine with 3:73. It will do it with 8k lbs.

Your comment sums up this video precisely. Thank you.
David, I agree
I agree. Hard to beat the 6.2 up to 2020. A few more years of miles under its belt and I think the 7.3 & 10 speed will also be great
Seems to be a recurring theme with the 6.2 underrated and reliable
STX!!😡😡
Beautiful truck & nice set up

Can you go more into detail? I'm purchasing a 17 f350 6.2l srw tomorrow.

😲 wow! That's a lot of weight!!
Was the trailer 18000 or was the truck and trailer combined 18000?

Getting ready to tow 12-14k 5th wheel with 2015 f350 6.2L, 3.73 gear & stock tires. Agree, probably a slow start, but should hold 5th no problem.

Doesn't surprise me that I see a ford hauling a chevy around 😂

I just purchased the RBP exhaust. Will posting a video soon. Thank you for sharing!
Im ford guy 100 percent but i like that style chevy on the trailer.
I’m looking to upgrade from my f150 and I’m seeing great things from both the 6.2 & 7.3 I’m leaning more towards the 6.2 though

Yes the 4:30's do seem to be rare. It does a lot better job if you want to use truck for towing/hauling/4wd capabilities.
Just got a 2019 F350 6.2 and it came with a 4.30 rear. I don't tow much so I would rather have the 3.73.
What's mpg pulling camper. Looking at a 9444 pound rv.
ONLY ONE VIDEO AND NO CORRECT ANGLE!!😔😔😢😢
Just wondering if I can pull atleast 2 cars with my f350 6.2l gas, 4.30 rear.. Rv, gooseneck, package, overleaf springs
Sounds to me like it would work depending on what size trailer and what size vehicles.
Record this again and turn your camera upright.
Still happy with the truck? Debating on ordering one
Yes it has been very good to me.
Nice set up. You should install some air bags.. Very nice truck.
Thank you!
Airbags are B.S. witch craft
1 have a 2016 have trouble staying in 6th gear. Just brought it. Is there something I need to know
You might be low on ATF ?
