Continuing to offer helpful and constructive posts, eh? Are you 16 years old? Not sure I've seen a post from you that wasn't a cheap shot or snide remark.

Funny, the GT500 wasn't revealed that I've seen. My son tried to keep up with the auto show, and was relaying stuff to me all weekend. Never heard any info on that 5.2 supercharged. Anyone else see anything?

Not giving up my source.
I guess we know this isn't right. The bullit gets a retuned 5.0 with a gt350 intake making at least 475hp.

When it comes to torque and having enough to hold a gear the earlier 6.2s are not any better. Never said they were.

With a 647hp/550tq 3.5l ecoboost laying around, do they really need a SC 5.2L?

Mpg is the same if not a hair worse for the 6.2l truck, same trips, same roads driven the same. Probably because the 6.2l shifts a lot more, especially on hills. He has a regular cab work truck with the 6.2l 3.73s also, mpg is pretty crappy on that one. Granted it sees a lot of short trips but it rarely sees much more than 10mpg. So I am not seeing how the 6.2l is so much better in mpg than the 6.8l, same at best from my experience.

In a truck application with towing and heavy loads, hp and tq high in the rpm range is not where I want to be. You end with the trans hunting for gears all the time and it is annoying, hurts mpg, heats up the trans, etc. Something I really don't like about the 6.2l.
Let's start again. I think you would like the 2017 6.2l better than your dad's 2015.

My diesel PTSD will not allow me to own anything with a turbo.

Yes... Mustang fans don't want artificial sound enhancement pumped into the cab via the stereo. It just wouldn't be right. Having said that the Ford GT's 3.5 sounds OK but it still has a V6 sound.
