Ford F-250: Ford's High-Powered 6.2L V-8 Specs and Information

By Pouria Savadkouei - May 6, 2019

This article applies to the Ford F-250 Super Duty (2017-).

The new breed of Ford's Super Duty trucks was introduced in 2017. These heavy haulers are offered with 2 engine options: the gas-powered 6.2-liter V8, and the diesel-powered 6.7-liter V8. Both are thoroughly capable powerplants. The diesel is meant for more heavy duty hauling and towing. But that doesn't mean the 6.2-liter isn't supremely powerful in its own right. In fact, the 6.2 L V8 is such a great motor that customers can't seem to find anything wrong with it.

The Ford F-250 powered by the 6.2-liter V8 is a great practical choice for anyone. The various cab and bed configurations provide plenty of options for customers to choose from. The F-250 offers everything one could get with an F-150, and then some. Plenty of room, ample power and torque, amazing towing and payload capabilities, and it certainly doesn't hurt that Super Duty Fords are some of the best-looking trucks on the market today.

Customer Satisfaction

An overwhelming majority of customers who have purchased the new F-250 6.2L Super Duty are completely satisfied with their choice. Many have come to F-250 ownership from passenger cars, there are those who have switched from other brands, some that upgraded from the F-150, those who have upgraded from older Super Duty trucks, and a select few who switched over from diesel. We have yet to find anyone complaining about their gas-powered Super Duty as yet. These trucks are as practical and capable as one could find on the market these days.
