Help - new truck considerations!

That's not true for all of us.

Sure it is. I've had both.

Like I said, it's not true for all of us!
I've had both also.

Just remember once you go diesel, you never want to go gas again!

It is for a lot of us. Maybe it should be, "Once you go Duramax, you never want to go gas again."

The only reason I can see to buy a Duramax is that you don't need a truck. Go Powerstroke! :whistling:

I keep wavering about a new truck. Because I really need one or just want one I am not sure. Not sure I really want or need a diesel. I did look at a 2011 F-250 with a 6.2 gas engine. It is a really pretty truck and actually even matches the camper. Opinions welcome.

Ford 6.7 PSD.... my two cents, had both, won't go back to gas to pull anything. What's a "duramax"?? I never heard diesel and Chevrolet in the same sentence that could pull anything....other than a muscle or two when you have to push it

Besides all the power when towing with a diesel, the greatest benefit is being able to pull into truck stops to fuel up. Most gas stations are not configured for maneuvering through it when towing. I added an aux. fuel tank, and only have to stop once a day to fill up when traveling long distances.

I've thought about the auxiliary tank. But right now I've improved my towing MPG's by 30% and my tank is 20% larger. So I'm as happy as can be . I have been looking into some aftermarket replacement tanks that can give me an additional 20 gallons or more.
Another big difference I found with going from a 1500 to a 3500 is stopping. Stopping is even more important than going.
