[QUOTE="Jdaniel, post: 11122490, member: 31486"] Well in most situations (like I mentioned before) the diesel will outlast the gas engine by double its life. This gentleman just mentioned how they suck down gas. Very true. Fords (and Chevy as a matter of fact) get horrible gas mileage towing or not. So the extra .30 per gal for diesel fuel eventually isnt so much. Obvisously the diesel holds its value better. It costs me $55 to have my oil changed at the dealership and maintenance is quite a ways down the road with my 6 year 100,000 year warranty. The oil change on my corvette was double that. Anyhoo... ive mentioned all that. Just wanted to reiterate. I occasionally tow a car to the track... and then I sold the Corvette. Now I have an F350 for a daily commuter. Actually my wife driving it till she arrives here in Abu Dhabi with me and then it will go into storage till we decide to return stateside. I believe its falls mostly under personal preference. I will NEVER own another gas powered truck because of all the issues I had out of the F150 I owned. Two engine rebuilds, three tranny rebuilds and god only knows what else because I had tons of issues with that POS. So my preference is diesel. [/QUOTE]
