The 6.7 is a bit mental power wise. Do you ever wonder what kind of economy, such an engine, with just measly 7.3L power levels, could do?
When towing versus the 6.7 the 6.2L is a dog. That's all I'm saying. I said when empty the 6.2L is ok.

Was the 6.2 that you towed with 2017+ or earlier? And which gears did it have?

2015 with 3.73's. I understand 4.30 gears would help and they lower the tq peak on the new ones. But even people with 3.73 gears and 11-16 models still say they tow "just fine".

I regularly haul 2 to 2.5 tons in the bed of mine and the 6.2 does extremely well. I'm hoping that when we're ready to upgrade from this truck that the new gas engines will be fine tuned and available in the F450 or 550.

Just because the 6.7 is mental, doesn't make the 6.2 a dog. When I'm sitting in a Saturn V rocket, your 6.7L seems like a dog. Is it?

The 6.2 is the best gas engine Ford's made since..........well just about forever. It's better than the 460, 302, 4.6, 5.4, 6.8, 5.8 etc. etc. It completely lays waste to the GM 5.0, 5.7, 6.0, and 6.2L engines. And it's a better mill than the Dodge gasser. It compares fairly well to the 7.3L diesels that we loved so much.

I’ve had three power strokes in a row, and have all been purchased new.
7.3, 6.0 and 6.4. No 6.7 yet, but I plan on it in 2020.
I ended up with this gasser GMC as a work truck. The powerbands and drivability are so different. The gasser is a better daily driver.
Bottom line is that there is very little towing torque in my gas GMC. It falls flat on its face when hooked to a load. On the positive side, they still make both, and each has their positives and negatives.
