Hello everyone, this is my first post so hopfully it’s in the right spot. I currently have a 2010 ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi that I tow my horse trailer with. Usually 5500-6000lbs but occasionally will tow a bigger one closer to 8000lbs. My truck does great although the suspension is pretty soft and it’s getting up there in miles (197k) so I’m looking to upgrade and wanting a 3/4 ton this time. I had a 2011 f150 before this truck and I liked the interior as well as the handling of it alot better than my ram, although it had a 3.7 v6 so it wasn’t very suited for my needs which is why I sold it. With how comfortable the f150 was id like to go back to ford. I came across what I think is a very good deal on a 2012 f250 crew cab long bed XLT with the 6.2 gas engine and 133k miles. It’s only a few hours away and I talked them down to $14,500. First off, does this sound like a good deal? I’m in Indiana and the truck is just about rust free which is a huge deal around here, he also said it has zero issues and the body/interior look to be in good shape. Does $14,500 seem like a good deal? My second question, how well do the 6.2s tow and what’s the longevity like on them? It has 3:73 gears which I know isn’t ideal however my ram has 3:55s and still does great. I’d really like to hear comparisons on people that have owned/towed with a 5.7 hemi so I know what to expect switching to the 6.2. I know the stability will be way better but not sure on other aspects of it. Also, what’s should I be expecting mpg wise loaded and unloaded? Here are some pictures of the truck.
