I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about trucks. I have a baby on the way and I know this will be one of the last times in a great while I will be able to afford a new truck. I just bought a F-250 Diesel Crew Cab in December but I am not happy with it (just from the aspect it does not have all of the options i wanted and because of this I just really want to order another truck with the options I want). My cousin was the one that had got me to look at a diesel and the last time I ordered a truck I wanted a diesel but could not afford it. Towing this summer with the truck was awesome.(I tow a enclosed car hauler at times and open landscape trailer during mowing season). Well my cousin called me today to tell me his 2006 F-250 stopped running and he thinks his Fuel Injector Computer Module took a dump(He is now saying he is done with diesels).
So my question is what to do next? 1.) Do I buy another Diesel or go back to a Gas Engine? 2.) IS the $8000 price tag for a Diesel really worth it in the end? As diesel fuel costs more, and the maintenance and repair is more than gas. (Just from the cost of fuel were does the cost even out or does it even?) 3.) If I do go back to a gasser do I go with the F250 or go to a F-350 or SVT Raptor Crew Cab?

If your getting a newer diesel with the 6.7 its a badass truck... Drove one and loved it.. I have a 6.0 powerstroke studded, all deleted, and tuned.. It runs great with no issues and has been very reliable.
