If a 250 is a bigger truck, comes with a long bed, pulls more, gets good mileage and lasts 3x times as long there is no contest.
I know a half dozen people with diesel trucks that have 300 k miles or more on them. The trucks are holding together just fine. They need some repairs like trans, ball joints and glow plugs. The cost of ownership is low over that time period, and they work for everything.
Couple edits;
1. F150s do come with an 8' box in Regular and Super Cab
2. 300k is not 600k
3. There are thousands of accounts of gas engines exceeding 300k miles. My 2001 V10 being one of them. 320,000 miles when I sold it and still going strong.
