A lot of bickering going on here over the financial sense of owning a diesel. Some things you can't put dollars and cents like the fact that pulling with my diesel is much more enjoyable. I'm not one that enjoys the high rpms and constant shifting, how to you put $ value on that?
In about 5 years I'll be in the market for a new truck assuming my current rig treats me good. And Honestly I hope I will end up with a gas truck, but right now I am spoiled with the diesel power. We will have to see where trucks are at that time, maybe diesel will improve in reliability or gas will improve their power output. Maybe Ford will put a 5.0 Ecoboost in their Super Duties that will be reliable enough ;)
