So if that truck handled that load well, I am good with the 10k I pull around. I would however, be very interested to know the exact weight on that trailer and tractor.

 

about the same the 62L has a 2.5 inch level kit on front , this load on both trucks touches the over load springs a little

 

[QUOTE=fordmdb;19049995]good points on all subjects, i dont want to turn this into a battle of warranty or a 6.2 vs 7.3 . but our position on these subjects is this. i would agree you wont hide anything from Ford but just like larger tires, suspension mods , electronic device , adding does not just void ,its all subject too.(read ford warranty guide) but as with anything in life do your research make sure its something you want to do and pick a quality company and you wont have any issues. in general. trust me i get it.. Now as for the 6.2Lvs 7.3L i have towed the same load (3 months ago) with our 2019 F250 6.2L with 3.73 gears and it would do this same trip in 3-4 gears (3rd mostly) and yes at higher RPMS but like the 7.3L it got the job done and i walked away impressed how it handled the weight. The 6.2 is a solid choice and to be honest i didnt want to trade it in on the new 7.3L but thats our business and we need the vehicles for development aka there our tools . Have a great weekend ill be towing again with the 7.3L this weekend lighter just some ATVs .

Well said. I am still on fence in getting a tuner for my 6.2. I think once the 3 year warranty is out i may get it it done with 5star. Or if I get a 2k PCO
I may switch to a 7.3l. One never knows! Keep up the great work!

 

ncl.
I have 57,000 on it already. It's ripe and at the sweet spot for trading. I've had two guys hounding me to purchase it. One is trading his dodge and buying mine from the dealer. Its a win for both of us, tax wise. One option I wanted was manual shift 4x4, but it's no longer available.

 

Nice. I have only 13k on mine. I have the manual shift 4x4 had to order my truck to get it the way I wanted it. It is a bummer they got rid of the option. All about streamlining manufacturing I suppose. Just hope they dont get rid of hubs in future. Its nice to have that in a pinch if they dont work.

 

[QUOTE=ncl;19050037]I love my 19 and I'm keeping it but Ive also thought about having 5 Star do my truck. We are doing a camping trip in Myrtle Beach and I'm have temped to drive up to the guys and have them do a tune. Tow down there stock, Tow home tuned...

 

[QUOTE=Mkos1980;19050317]That sounds like a plan. We are headed to Colonial Williamsburg with our camper in July. I wont be making any moves on a vehicle. I cant get an option on 2020 that I have on my 2017 plus mine is just getting broke in!

 

stock shocks are same old ranchos?

 

with respect, I don't think it's defensiveness, about the 6.2. There's know doubt the 7.3/10 speed is, and will be awesome, it's just that the little 6.2/6 speed, even with the 3.73's is a BEAST! And this combo has proven itself for many years. Add 4.30's to the mix, and it's an even better tow rig! As always, jmo✌

 

Not really thinking of that one big gust,.more like after days and days of towing, perhaps at the end of a long trip of thousands of miles, at dusk, you look over at your wife, or glance at the dogs in the back at the exact time a speeding semi passes you on a bridge just as that wind gust passes through the canyon. Might be nice to have that bit of protection against driver inspired over correction. Same with adaptive cruise, regular cruise works just fine, but adaptive is safer and more efficient. My first truck was a 55 Ford, I'm not ashamed to embrace the new safety features coming down the road and that are already here. Even if it takes the "feel" out of some of the driving. YMMV

 

One nice benefit of this new engine is now the gassers can fight amongst themselves over which gasser engine is best instead of constantly trying to convince diesel owners that we don't need a diesel.

 

You don't need a diesel . . . . .

 

Did I miss the MPG for the heavy tow?

 

LOL, what i don't need is to sit around waiting for some forum jockey to tell me if the 7.3 can maybe tow my trailer. You can hit is 10 times with a 3 lb hammer or once with 15lb. I have a rule, always buy more than you need. No sense p!$$ing around with a tool that will "just" get the job done when there's one out there that will make it seem easy.

 

I can't get the 6.2 in a F250 Lariat so no debate for me. I'm more curious to see 7.3 v 6.6 battle results.
