In my case I went from a 97 5.8L GAS to a 2017 6.7L PSD.
While shopping I wanted a long bed and "super cab" rather than regular or crew. As it ends up the truck I took home was the only "super cab" on the lot and just happened to be a 6.7L PSD.
I'll have to admit that I was not exactly shopping for a diesel at the time, just a new modern truck. The 6.2L Gas might of been a good fit but like I mentioned, the PSD was the only one on the lot (I had visited LOTS of lots which had TONS of crew cab PU's but no super cabs).
The test drive was an eye opening experience.
With the low mileage that I put on the truck it will likely outlast me. Given the choice of GAS vs DIESEL after experiencing a modern Diesel truck I could never go back to gas. The driving difference between my old gas truck and the PSD is/was Night and Day. Totally different experience all together.
