Gas or diesel
I posted this on another site as well. I have decided that the F150 I have is just not going to cut it with the trailer I have. Have an opportunity to get a pretty good deal on some 2015 350 Super Du...

It should be added that the reason to buy a diesel is perceived "seat of the pants" power. Since actual useful pulling power is almost identical. Nearly identical mph up hills nearly identical acceleration with a trailer.
Just feels like it is working less hard to most people and that somehow makes them feel better.
I guess Ford, Ram and GM didn't get the memo when they were setting tow ratings for there HD trucks. Someone should've told them that their gassers could tow just as much. Makes me wonder why they even sell diesels.
I never mentioned ratings now did I. I simply said with the same trailer they are very very close in actual performance with the pedal to the floor.
Since the 8-10k extra a diesel costs doesn't buy any better performance maybe they give you a higher rating so you think you got something for your money.
