I just test drove a new f-250 6.2l v-8 gasoline engine truck, these are my thoughts on it.
It has plenty of power, and sounds really good during wide open throttle. I was at 80+ in a quarter mile, and very shortly after that I was at the governed speed of 97mph.
Cruising down the highway at 70 was a surprisingly quiet, bump free ride. In fact it felt like I was going way slower. It handled corners, and manuveurs amazingly for a big pick up.
It has an electronic locking rear end, that alot of other manufacturers have had for awhile.
The factory stereo sounds really good, and the interior is very roomy, comfortable, and smells good.
It has 2 spark plugs per cylinder for a total of 16 spark plugs. This might be costly to have a routine tune up done. Anywhere from 500-1000 I'm guessing.
This was a stripped down fleet vehicle for a gas company, so it was as bare on the inside as you can get. Don't know the price on it.
