Help a Newbie, question about gas vs. diesel
Towing a fw, approx 10,000 lbs, would a gas engine F250 be practical, or would it be better to go diesel? Remember I said Newbie...thanks, cycler. This is an added question to my original post: ...

If you're towing at higher elevations often then I'd go diesel, but with an F350 to cover payload.
If you're just going to weekend warrior it with a few (1-3) longer trips then I'd go gas F250.
I tow 9500 lbs in Oregon with a gas 2500. I don't have too many issues. I just lock out 6th or 5th and cruise. MPG sucks compared to my previous CTD but I also didn't pay the $9K premium for the diesel option.
