[QUOTE="onetoncrawler, post: 760005, member: 846"] After 10+ years of owning a diesel, I used all of the justification above to ditch my diesel and go back to a gas truck. I ordered a 21 F250 with the 7.3 and the 10 speed. I kept the truck less than 6 months and traded it in on another Ram 2500 with the Cummins. Empty the truck did fine, but even towing something as light as my Ranger it sucked. It got 12.5 mpg empty and 8.5 towing my Jeep or the Ranger. My cummins gets 19 empty and 15 towing, so no comparison there. DEF is $100-$120 per year for the average 15k mile driver so that's negligible in my opinion. The 7.3 held 8 quarts of oil vs 12 for the diesel, so oil changes aren't that big of a difference at all either. With that being said, I don't plan on ever owning another gas truck again unless I have zero intentions of hauling anything more than a sxs, small boat, etc. just my opinion FWIW [/QUOTE]
