Well I gone and done it....
The wife and I decided to take a trip to Dallas as an after tax season treat. Long story short, we ended up trading the 2013 F150 for a 2014 F250 KingRanch CC SB FX4 6.7L PSD. We were going to wait until around 2019-2020 to trade, but long story short we wanted the ability to double tow the fifth wheel and boat. Dealer ended up giving us just shy of 12k off the F250 so we figured why not.
Loved the F150, but our towing needs have out grown the capabilities of the F150.

I had seen a few videos of 6.2L gas motors in the F250/F350, and they definitely hold their own but the mileage is the killer. This 6.7L gets better mileage than my previous EB, as for towing well I haven't gotten around to towing with it yet so that will be the real test of mileage IMO.

Two things... when towing with the EB it's better to use Premium, and the manual even states this. Diesel is only 5-8 cents higher than premium on average, sometimes diesel is cheaper than premium depending where you go.
I don't know what the average mileage for a 6.2L is, but they are strong motors from what I understand. Same driving habits and routes previously in the EB and I'm able to get better mileage in the 6.7L PSD. But the flip side is truck costs more up front. I will say this, the maintenance on the 6.7L is very easy to do, everything from oil to fuel filters is extremely efficient and easy to get to.
