I'm looking for a replacement truck
Ok, first off, I don't want to start a brand war here, but would appreciate some input based on experience. My TC hauler, a 1997 Ford F350 diesel dually suffered frame damaged by hurricane Michael....

Good info so far.
I have been leaning toward diesel for the torque, but am not opposed to gas if it carries well. Apparently some are pleased with their gassers. The gassers are definitely cheaper to purchase. And I suspect operating costs.
I've seen some of the diesel you tube videos and they don't instill a lot of confidence.
I appreciate the comments about the emissions control not liking to be idle. I didn't have to worry about that with the 7.3.
One issue I have as far as looking at units is I live in a pretty rural area and there isn't much within an hour or more drive. (Even worse looking for a replacement camper)
Continuing to gather info.
Thanks,
Dale
