V-10 3V HP/TQ: 362/457

Not that it matters but the peak HP/TQ numbers for the 6.2 in the f250 are the same as the f150 6.2 numbers - 411 hp and 434 lb/tq. It is my understanding that ford publishes the Super Duty numbers at a different RPM for EPA reasons...Correct me if I'm wrong.

edit...scratch that, the different hp/tq numbers are for the Super Duty 6.2 that has a GVWR over 10,000lbs...sorry.

I'm not saying that it would get great mpg. I know that our F250 6.2 towing 4-6000lbs still pulls 12mpg at 65mph. 15-16mpg empty...

I still say if you're towing over 10k regularly, get an F250, no matter what engine
