Anybody on here own a Ford F250 with the 6.2L gas engine? I'm looking at a 2016 with 12,000 miles on it. It is an extended cab and has a lift with 35's. I'm curious what the gas mileage would be, how powerful it is and what the projected lifespan might be with these engines. Any issues that I should know about? I'm used to gas drinking big v8's but wasn't sure if it would get 9mpg bad or 12-14 range on the highway with the big tires... any info would be appreciated. I may pull the trigger pretty fast on this truck because it won't last long.

OP, what size is the lift? Also, I assume it is 4wd (since there isn't any other type of truck! )

Reading on the Ford forum that was recommended in an earlier post, it looks like 15mpg is tops on the highway empty. It looks like the mixed driving I would be doing would be 12-13mpg. Heck I only get 13.5-14mpg out of my 4wd Titan on 33's so I would be pleased if a 6.2L would get 13ish.
You are talking about a 3/4 ton gasser with 35" tires and a 4-6" lift suspension here...you won't get there IMO.

By the way you will hate going from a 4 door truck to a extended cab truck.
My dad has a stock 3/4 ton z71 6.0 GMC and he gets 14-15 and 9-10 when towing.
My uncle has the 3/4 ford 6.2 and his fuel mileage is virtually the same as my dads and both trucks bone stock.
Unless that truck has been regeared I can't see it getting better than 12-13 and I'm being pretty liberal on my guesses.

I had a F-250 2 wheel drive with the 6.2 as a company truck. I averaged 11 in it with 285/70/17 Duratracs. Granted my truck was loaded with tools, but I would be suprised if you get 12-13 with a lifted 4x4 on 35s. On the other hand, I was suprised with the power of the 6.2. It was a huge upgrade from the 5.4.

Seems like most are saying 12mpg on a good day with 10 being more realistic. I only drive about 14k miles a year so I can deal with that. From what I read online the reliability of these engines is good. I may go drive it and talk to them today. I'm still tossing around the idea of another half ton...specifically a Tundra, but the 4wd in my budget all seem to be 2013-2014 with 50-60k miles on them. Decisions, decisions... Thanks for the input guys
