Re: Any 6.2L owners?

I have owned/driven quite a few 5.3 trucks over the years

03
05
07
09
13

The 09/13 both have the 6 speed auto and are leaps and bounds better than the older 4 speeds. There faster and always have a gear for towing or passing. They also get better mpg.

The 6.2 is a nice motor with a ton of power. MPG won't be great but it's alot more fun to drive than the trusty 5.3. There also alot harder to find and the price jumps significantly as there typically loaded up.

I chose the 5.3 again as they have treated me well. I was slode to pulling the trigger on a new ecoboost equipped f-150 (the interior is nicer and they haul ass) but the 10K off sticker on my 13 was too hard to pass up.

For around town and towing say 7K pounds and under the 5.3 does a good job. If I was towing heavier than that I would probably own a diesel.
