Not me, nicest truck I've ever owned. Roomy, real sharp looking, plenty of power, options galore, what's not to like?

The 6.2 is definitely improved, no question about that.

Start a poll maybe?

to be honest I'm not the guy that's unhappy with his truck . I've been driving a Honda CRV for the last 13 years so I could not be more happy with this truck . Although to be fair since I'm coming from a Honda CRV I don't have the requisite knowledge of other recent trucks since my last truck was a 1996 Ford F250. My father has owned three consecutive Toyota tundra's since they came out with the new body style. I have liked his trucks and never wanted for power. I just don't think they are as good looking as the 2017 super duty. My wife and I do not like round "ish" type vehicles so the new 2017 super duty really is the squarest most angular of all the new trucks out there IMO. As for all the options since I ordered I got everything I want so it's really hard to blame ford if there's anything that I'm unhappy with. The only problem I had was the packages. I wish you could order everything a-la-cart and then you could just pick everything you want and it would be so much easier.

I have a 6.2 L gas engine. It's more than I'll ever need. I cannot comment on the diesel.

No complaints or regrets, so far. My last 3 trucks were Toyotas, after a very bad experience with a GMC 1500. Last Ford truck I owned was a '93 Ranger 4.0 4x4 and I liked that little truck very much.

I love Mustangs and own my 3rd ('15 GT) and since I have had no issues with the Mustang in 2 years, I decided to give Ford a shot for my next truck. After looking for several months, I found that a F250 Lariat FX4 6.2, when equipped modestly, was no more than a F150 Lariat FX4.....I am very happy with my choice.

Man, I started that other thread strictly for those that may be debating a choice.

I hope no one took offense as it wasn't my intention to throw shade on anyone's new vehicle.

You just can't beat that new truck smell.

While I don't have experience with the 6.2L (I'm hoping to order one in the next couple weeks), I really wish the V10 was still available in the pickups.

Best Truck I ever owned

I think my new F-350 6.2L is near perfect.
I could not be happier, it is exactly the truck I needed.
My son has a 2016 F-350 6.7L, and I have driven it a fair amount. A very nice truck indeed. I prefer my gasser.
It is my every day driver, and towes my travel trailer with ease.
I towed a rented 9000 lb excavator for a community project a few weeks back, I hardly knew it was there.
A lot of people talk down the 3.73 gears, however my experience is they perform very well.
Fantastic vehicle !!

Moved up from 2008 F150 5.4L to the 6.2. Great truck, engine and transmission to match

I love mine too. Moved from '02 F350 7.3. The ride is very good; the cab is exceptionally quiet; plenty of power; mpg is decent considering what it is; raise the back seats and there is room galore. It's a well designed truck. I compared all three of the big three and the Ford SD won hands down.

Ours is an F350 6.2, and we're very happy with it so far!

I love mine. I drove my 2004 F-250 for 13 years before this one.

I loved the V-10.

I love the 6.2 Even more. More power, more torque, more miles per gallon.

The V-10 always had a strange sound to it also. The stock 6.2 sounds awesome.

Coming from a 2013 ram 2500 6.7 cummins to my 2017 f250 6.2 couldn't be happier with my choice. No more diesels for this guy!
