Sorry for the trolling I couldn't help myself and I apologize to the OP for the nonsense. 7000lbs and a 10k GVWR is what a 3/4 ton should be, not just the gas version. I honestly thought the F250 diesel was around 7200lbs not 8200. The Nissan suffers from the heavy diesel just as the F250, its gas versions are rated 500-700 lbs higher in payload . . .

Yes, both the Nissan Cummins and F250 may have diesel engines, but I assure you one of them is more likely to "suffer" a hernia than the other.

There is only a 200-300 lb. weight difference between these two trucks. However, the Nissan Cummins has approx. 300 ft. lbs. less torque and approx. 120 less HP than the F250 diesel.

Or, put another way, there's only a ~4 percent weight difference; however, the Nissan Cummins has approx. 35 percent less torque and approx. 30 percent less HP.

Plus, you're again ignoring the fact the F250 has about 1,000-1,500 lbs. more payload than the Nissan Cummins based on the RAWR and FAWR of both trucks. Also gotta remind you . . . troll mode or not . . . the F250's (3/4-ton) GVWR is meaningless in terms of realworld payload capability.

All said and done, demiles, clearly one of these trucks is suffering, loaded or empty, much more than the other.

Actually my XD weighs in at 6900, that's 1000-1200 less than the F250 not 200-300. Yes the HP and torque are more in line with the early diesel trucks but I wouldn't call it suffering. It's performance exceeds the 2500 8.1L Allison 4.10 combo I was using to pull my current trailer.
