I like it! I’m a ford guy though, depending what the numbers are id consider this engine in a future truck I plan on buying instead of a diesel. The numbers have to be better mileage wise then the 6.2 because the 6.2’s numbers are a joke, very reliable engine but the mileage is a joke.

summer time 13-16 average on both i consider that good |
2016 6.2 in a f350 dual wheel, extended cab long box.
Average 28L/100km Worst fuel sucking truck I have ever drove. I have put over 400 liters of fuel in one day. Ok power but not great. Would never ever own one personally. I thought the 6L in a GMC was bad till we got one of these at work. Pulling a 9000LB office trailer up to Conklin 36L/100km Took it into Ford to see if something was wrong, was told thats about right for the truck, hooked it up to there computers to make sure nothing was a miss, and everything checked out. Was never so happy when I came to work one day, and the gate was jarred open, and that truck was stolen. Happy day. |
Never buy a first year anything!

I had a 2011 F250 supercab 6.2. Absolutely loved the truck. Mileage was very good. I would buy another in a heartbeat if I needed a mediate puller.
|
Nice to see. I will be in the market for a new truck within a year, so this will be another option to consider.

We have them at work and they’re just pigs on gas. I have a basic f150 and towing 3 quads on my 17’ flat deck I get on windy days average 14-16 L/100km. Empty I get 10-11.4 L/100km. |

I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 ltz 4 x 4 it has the 6.2lt gas with the 8 speed automatic behind it, absolutely great on fuel, have a cab height canopy on it, running empty to arizona average 9.2 lt/100km and in the US that's running around 80 mph/ 140km, i pulled a 8' x 20' enclosed trailer to brooks this summer, pushed a 30km wind all the way down, threw about 4,000 lb in the trailer and headed home, 890km round trip just under 19lt / 100, lots of power and with that 8 speed runs around 1700 rpm at 120 on the highway, absolutely love it.

GM's coming out with a new gas engine for 2020. 6.6 V8 400hp & 450 torque.
The new 7.3 should top that. |

The new 6.6 is set up for towing/hauling with a cast iron block, I believe. And will run on regular fuel. |

I've also got a 6.0 liter in one of the work trucks, nice motor but hard on fuel. I'm sure this is the engine the new 6.6 will be replacing?? |
Quote:
Yes, the 6.6 is intended to replace the workhorse 6.0. |

The 6.2 lt for pickups and suv's is the Ecotec 3 L86 engine designed to run on regular unleaded or E85 fuel, no premium required, I have been driving one for 2 years now, great on fuel and lots of power. Listed at 420 hp and 450 torque, totally different |

Ours is an SUV for getting groceries and taking the kids to hockey... I'm sure camaro owners or whatnot run premium. For me though, there's no difference. Just a lighter wallet. |
