I have spent hours reading through this, some good info, as I had been considering a diesel. It all boils down to usege, and need I guess. It was very interesting to see this post develope over about 6 years.:E I drive a diesel every day at work, 30k miles a year, f450 flatbed. Indistructible truck! Handles 12k loads with ease. Mileage is poor,7-8 mpg, but gearing is low and top speed is 72mph. It is a 2001, with 130k on it.And very noisy. I own a gas Hemi in a 1500. I am realizing I need 3/4 ton more and more, but in a years time I don't currently tow over 3000 miles, with about 7000 not towing, and daily, to and from work 2 mile trips.Could be hard on a diesel. With diesel, .20 a gallon higher here, and the cost of a 3/4 ton used hemi versus diesel, real close to $10k difference, I am leaning towards the Hemi.
