I just got a F250 gas crew cab, outgoing model year (see my sig). It was cheaper than most current production F150 crew cabs with aluminum body by about $3k.
Yes, it's less efficient on gas, by about 3-4 mpg, but $3k can buy a lot of gas.
I'm sure some will want to argue, but in the exact same trim (XLT) and options, the F250 was cheaper by $3k, at 6 different dealers. Plus, it has way more payload (3k lbs), and more towing capacity (12k vs 11.3k lbs).
For me, it was a no-brainer.
The 6.2 gas with 4.30 axle can tow some heavy weight too, making the diesel unnecessary for all but the heaviest of fifth wheelers.
