Ive got a gas 1/2 ton and my brother has a diesel 3/4 ton.
Diesel is $3.059 or so and gas is $2.719. I get 15-16 mpg and he gets 20-23 mpg.
Everything for his truck costs more than for mine since its heavier duty. Brakes, tires, suspension parts, etc.
Really I had no real need to get a diesel because I dont need a heavy duty truck. However if I was in the market for a heavy duty truck no way would I get a gas motor. A small block like in the Dodges and Fords is too underpowered for a heavy truck and Im sure the big block in the Chevy is a pig on gas. Ford and Dodge dont even offer a big block V8 and Im not sure if Ford still has a V10 in the newer trucks. Dodge doesnt.
Absolutely. Problem is, is it’s ‘macho’ and ‘cool’ to tow a fucking jet ski with a Ford F450:retardclap and fool yourself that you made a wise investment at the same time
