After a lot of research and reading a lot of threads her on this forum I made the decision to go ahead with a purchase. I looked pretty hard for a week and found a 2012 F-250 XL that has 32,500 miles on it. The truck is basically loaded for an XL and we are saving the cost of owning a XLT. It is a SRW CC 6 3/4' bed 4x4 with the cloth seats in the Metallic Gray color. I want to thank all of the 6.2 owners that have given excellent feedback on this motor and the trucks that go with it. I can honestly say that I am not going to miss my 6.0 PSD and I am looking forward to driving the new (used) truck home almost 400 miles with a smile on my face the whole way.

Congrats. I can't wait to be in your shoes. Looking forward to giving the 6.2 a go in the next few years

 

I drove almost 500 miles one way to trade in my 2004 F350 CC with a 6.0 for my 2012 F250 CC with a 6.2 and I can honestly say that it is one of the best decisions that I have made in my life. The 6.2 made 16.5 mpg on the 500 mile trip with a slight tail wind about half of the trip and it drove great. There is such a big difference in the way the truck rides, a lot more responsive in the steering and it doesn't shake me to death over bumps. The motor is sneaky on power and has a great sound. If this trip was any indication of how the truck is going to perform, then I am going to be a very happy owner.

Awesome. Glad your happy with your choice

 

Congrats! Pics?

 

SWEET !!!! Congrats...

 

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have my 2013. Hardest thing for me to use to coming from a Diesel owner since the 80's, is the RPM range the 6.2 runs in. She revs high, but you get use to it.

 

Exactly the same color as yours, but with different rims...

 

Congrats!

Matt and I agree that you appear to have chosen the correct color. We're not sure about the wheels, however...

Best of luck. Solid power plant for sure. Just came upon my 1 yr anniversary and STILL love driving this truck. Not one issue with her.

Matt, good to see you back.

 

Yeah, I just wanted to be different.

Adam

 

Absolutely love that color. I was actually home last weekend and clay bar'ed the whole truck, threw a coat of carnuba wax on, then a coat of synthetic wax. Looks just as good as the day I bought it over 3 years ago. Congrats again.

 

Thanks man, trying to make a little more time for my hobbies again.
