One point on the gas vs diesel. I like having the option to use the diesel truck lanes as the regular fuel islands can be crowded and especially tough to negotiate with a long trailer.
Also, I do agree with the 3/4 ton decision. As to people saying they are bigger, I ask how? A 6.5ft bed crew cab is the same size in a 1/2 or 3/4 ton as oneone can't get 5.5ft bed option in the HD payload package.
Good Luck!
I switched to diesel recently and I noticed the same thing too, with the ease of getting in and getting diesel over waiting for gas. Also, at some stations where everyone pumps gas, the 87 (typically) can be slow. I fill up so much faster with diesel it seems. Then there is the $1.20/gallon less right now which is nice :)
my 2015 F-150 6.5' bed was 156.8" wheelbase and a 243.7" OAL and 79" wide.
my 2012 F-250 6.75' bed is 156.2" wheelbase and a 246.8" OAL and 79.9" wide.
so I guess the OAL is 3" longer and 0.9" wider. Negligible to me.
