My WT V6 4x4! I work for a company that is Ford through and through! Went to pick up some hay in a brand new 2015 F-350 crew cab 4x4 WT. That thing struggled to pull the hills with just the trailer alone (20 foot tandem axle). It was loud and just not a fun truck to drive. I really thought that new 6.2 would wow me, but I didn't notice much difference over Chevy's 6.0.

 

I know that my truck and that truck are totally different trucks, but its still a comparison I made!

What was the comparison you made between the trucks? That a v6 truck pulls a 20ft tandem axle trailer better then an f350? A 4x4 f350 is a lot different then a v6 reg cab, you can't expect them to be similar in anyway.

I can expect them to be similar in many ways. They are both trucks. There are some similarities there. I know that ford engine has more power than my truck and would out pull my truck any day. The engine, mine has an engine too (similarity), was loud and vibrated horribly. The seats, mine has them too (similarity), was very uncomfortable.

 

I was just stating how nice I feel the Silverado is compared to the competition.

Our work truck is a brand new F450 crew cab long bed 4x4. We've had some pretty big tractors on our 10K pound trailer and i have been nothing but impressed.

The gas 6.2 in that heavy truck isn't a good combo.. The 6.7 in that truck is a different story. That's a great motor.

 

The ford super duty solid front axles do not have a good feel to them IMO, they don't drive good.. That was the selling point for me getting a GM HD, the GM's drive wayyyy better then the super dutys.

I can imagine the 6.7 would be great. Heard nothing but good things about them. The 6.2 was extremely disappointing.

I don't doubt the 6.2 was dissapointing... You should have driven a 5.4 in an f250

My other work truck is a 5.4. Has almost 300,000 miles, wonder if they were all as weak as the ones I've put on...
