I love my 6.2.  my best 25 is 28.1, best 50 is 25.6 and best 400 is 18ish ( I can verify if you want) and that is with the trailboss.

 

If my driving was mostly short trips I would probably get the 3.0.

 

 

Aren't short trips really hard on modern diesels?

Go with the 6.2L. You won’t have any issues with valve springs. . The issues you will have are less cash in your wallet and watching your gas gauge go down extremely fast because you will be mashing the gas pedal, loving every minute of the 420hp on tap!

Typo. I meant to say “wasn’t short trips”.

With the 3.0L in town depends on number of stop lights! I get around 25 in town if traffic isn’t stop and go.

Been as low as 18 but that was a lot of stop and go. I like my trailer mileage pulling a dual axle enclosed trailer about 4000 lbs I can get 18mpg if there isn’t a significant head wind and rather flat ground. I’ve also gotten much better than that following trucks and such but that’s not a given.

'Short trips' are hard on any engine.
