Thinking about buying a lariat limited F150 with a 6.2l

Has anybody owned one of these I'm sick of my 06' 5.4l and I'm hoping this truck will be much quieter and perform as it's supposed to.

I own a '13 F150 with a 6.2L and it does fine. So far, I'm averaging 16 mpg on the highway, but I only 1200 miles on it so far. Others have had better luck with fuel economy, but its a beast and fun to drive without the headaches.

I have one I purchased new (38K miles now) and I love it! Arguably the best looking trim level for any 2009-2014 generation F-150. The cabin is quiet, and the intake/exhaust only make noise when you get on it. Great motor in a fantastic truck!

Awesome I may buy one with 54735 miles on it. That has to be the best looking F150 I have ever seen

6.2 vs 5.0

I`m thinking about a 6.2 or the 5.0 in a 2014 f150 4x4. I don`t tow much but love power.
I drove a 5.0 yesterday and loved how alive the motor felt but being a gear head 50 more hp and 50 more ftlbs is like a siren song and at 3 miles pr gallon cost over the 5.0 it`s not too bad??.
Will I be disappointed driving the 6.2 over the 5.0 as far as that wonderful free revving feeling over the slower but more powerful 6.2?
I did drive a 2012 f250 with a 6.2 but due to the 1000lb weight difference this was not a fair comparison.
Also there are no f150s on lots around here with the 6.2 to test drive.

There is nothing slow about the 6.2 other than your search of trying to find one. They are rare.

My work truck is a 2013 F150 5.0. My personal truck is a 2011 F150 6.2. While the 5.0 makes awesome power it doesn't compare to the 6.2. After I 5 Star tuned my 6.2, I feel even more in love with it. You won't be disappointed. But as others have said, the F150 with a 6.2 is a hard find.

*Edit: Sorry, I just saw the OP was from last year. Did you buy a 6.2?
