Yes, I test drove a diesel. Admittedly, much quieter than my 6.0. But various comments about fuel contamination and Ford's refusing to back up the warranty . . . plus all the other objections I listed, plus the additional cost . . . made me decide on gas.
If I was pulling heavy loads all the time in my work or something, it might be different, but I have a pickup only for vacations/trips several times a year.
I was out-and-about this morning, and I note that diesel is now 70 cents higher than gas locally. Don't see how that can be justified when buying a new truck; in the two years I've owned a truck it has never been less than 40 cents higher.
