By looking at the rpms it had 3.73 gears, if it had 4.30s in it he would have to clean out his pants. He had been pulling for awhile so it the computer had it in full pulling mode and I have to tell you they are a totally different truck after you have working them hard.

I found that video a couple of weeks ago while doing an internet search on 6.3 towing ability. I helped sway me towards ordering the new truck I ordered last week. A 6.3 with 4.30's.

I thought 4:30 L/S was the only option on a dually. I don't really know though.

When I ordered mine 3.73 were standard, the 4.30 are with the LS only. On the video when he was doing 65 at 1700 to 1800 rpms if it had 4.30 gears it would have been 2000 rpms.

Oh OK, I shoulda caught that too. IF his tire diameter is the same as mine, the RPMS are exactly what I get as well. I'm satisfied with my trucks ability to tow our trailer, but man, he sure raves about the power on that video. His mileage is worse than mine as well, but that's a heavier truck, and it looks like he's really keeping his foot in it on hills and when he accelerates. Anyway, it's good to see another testament to the 6.2's capabilities.

He was definitely running it hard and his mpg show it.

Very stout!

I have had no thoughts that the 6.2 would get the job done which is why I bought one instead of the 6.7

I am glad to see a video pulling this weight.

I just bought a 28' enclosed car trailer...by the time I outfit it with tools work bench, racing stuff and my car it should weigh in around 8,500-9k pounds.

I didn't think my truck would even struggle with it and this video proves it

The enterprise by my office has them..... I rented a 4x4 manual shift crew cab long bed f-250 with a 6.7 for work.

It was about $100 a day I needed it to pull our work trailer for a week. Prior to the Ford they first have me the same truck but in a Dodge.

It was pretty cool because I towed the same trailer back to back with both trucks.
