Towing with F-250 6.2

[Surgical_ass]

I currently tow with a nissan titan. We are looking to upgrade a little. I'm looking at the F250'S with the 6.2. Most have the 3.73 rear ends unless you order one custom with the 4.30 (which I'd prefer)

anyone towing with said set up? Which gears? Thoughts?

Personally I would think the 373,s would be fine.With the 10 speed trans and the 6.2 you should have plenty of power.When you are not towing you would probally get a little better mpg with the 373,s.

Unless i am towing a big load for more than 40% of the time, i would be fine with 373.

With the 6.2, I don’t think you can get the 10 speed. You need the 7.3 or diesel to get the 10 speed option.

For $2000, I would get the 7.3 gas.

4.30 gear would get old when not towing.

6.2l with 6 speed trans, 3.73 gear will tow 12500#
4.30 gear gets you to 15000#

I towed my Craz with a 6.2 3.73 last season. You’d never know that boat was back there. I have a 22x7.5 enclosed snowmobile trailer that would drift around a little bit but only because of the extra surface area. The boat towed excellent. In fact, my girlfriend would actually offer to drive, that’s how well it handled.

That says something right there.

I looked at the 7.3 gas and it looks great. I hope it's as great as the 6.2 has been for them. I'm a little nervous about buying a first year production tho. It comes with the 10 speed transmission. This likely won't be our daily driver so not too worried about mpg with the lower gear just like the idea of a little more towing capacity for any future toys. Glad to hear that the 3:73 pulled the Craz great!

I stopped worrying about mpg when I picked the two most expensive hobbies on the planet. Boating and snowmobiling!

Do you plan on lifting the SuperDuty and running larger tires?

3.73s will be fine on stock rubber, 35s will be ok but anything over 35s and you will want the 4.30 gears if you will be towing regularly.

Look at the big picture and how you intend to use your truck. Ordering with the right gears is WAY cheaper than doing a gear swap down the road.

My 2000 F-250 had 3.73s with the 5.4 and was a slug but fairly bulletproof and I ran it until my following truck, a 2013 F-250 w/3.73s and the 6.2....big improvement over the 5.4 with low end torque.

My current ride is a 2017 F-250 with 3.55s and the 6.7 PSD....it's a beast and is pretty overkill for most situations....but I effin love it.

You definitely wouldn't regret the very small upcharge from the 6.2 to the 7.3 Godzilla.

I will tell you one thing from personal experience, when it's time to trade in a gasser SuperDuty, you're gonna get hosed. The market for these is very small (especially for the base engine).

The gassers don't hold a flame to the diesels when it comes to resale...just food for thought.
