If every 6.2 truck sitting on lots had 4.30 instead of 3.73 there would be a lot more satisfied drivers out there. I seriously wonder if it is part of a ploy by Ford to keep 6.7 sales up as more and more are moving to gas.
Well if your coming from an older V10/7.3l Super Duty the 2017 6.2 with any gears feels like a rocket by comparison. That much I can promise you.

I bet it does. I've had quite a few 7.3's but it's been awhile. It is the newer emission diesels I refer to.

I can attest to the 6.2 feeling like a rocket...especially on the highway. It loves to run 85-90
