There is a separate thread where people have listed their 6.2l overall miles. You'll find plenty of higher mileage 6.2's in there reporting zero problems. Don't recall any 800,000m plus rigs though.
I'm a 2011 with 135,000m tuned, gas deleted(no cats) and zero issues.

I'm on my second diesel truck after owning nothing but gas trucks and this one still puts a smile on my face every day. Having said that I'm kicking the tire on perhaps a '17 6.2 for a family member and I don't want to end up with another Triton gas performer.

not a problem
other than maintenance.
I replaced the idler pulleys and serpentine belt at 140,000... little squeaking of ONE pulley bearing. and were original..
with a 5,000 mile trip upcoming... with trailer and motorcycle
I changed the engine oil and filter, transmission fluid and power steering fluid... checked everything else.. as the 150,000 mark will happen 2,000 miles from home.

I didn't see this bashing you speak of. I honestly don't understand two things. 1 - Why a diesel guy would post about diesel in a thread obviously for not only a gas engine but a specific gas engine. 2 - Why there is even an argument. These are two totally different truck designed to fit two totally different needs. I don't think there will ever be a time where someone says my gas can outpull you diesel. Diesel would not be a better truck for my needs just a more expensive one. for me diesel is over kill.
