The diesel's $9K more expensive initially, but much of that will be regained when you sell or trade the truck. And used buyers will jump all over a diesel. Gas trucks at resale time just don't pull top prices.
The diesel engine is just so much more durable and trouble free. The value of a diesel comes from improved fuel mileage, and it really comes into its own in the long run. You will keep it longer and be hesitant to trade it.
And about all the weight I'd want to tow with a gas truck is 10K lbs.
So I guess I got lucky when I got top dollar for my 13 year old V10, and what's really funny is it only sat of the dealers lot for 2 days before it went to a new home. :h
If you never owned or drove a 6.2 how do you come up with your 10K figure.

Don't you know you can't pull anything bigger tHan a pup up with a gas.
I also think it has something to do with the fact that at 4500 rpm they the engine is going to explode.
