Also some folks like the fact that the big D is many feet behind them and thus the ride is quieter.. Me,, I like the sound of a properly loaded engine. It's music to this farm boy's ears.
So you will note not one of my reasons helps you.. But the point is Gas or Diesel is really a personal decision.. IF I thought I could afford it.. I would likely have gotten Diesel and then studied the engines so I could audit as I do with this 8.1L Workhorse... But that's me.
