This is a tow forum so I understand your sentiment. However, some of us use our trucks for payload and the gas engines far exceed the payload capacity of the diesel. When I bought my 2013 Ford F-350 DRW there was almost a 1,000 lb payload penalty for getting the diesel. I needed all of that for my truck camper.
Good point. What is payload on a 3500 hemi? I have 4076 per door sticker on mine (Laramie with every option available). Some of those truck campers get awful heavy though don't they?
Interesting, the the 6.7 Cummins only weighs 1,150# max, I am sure the Asian doesn't add that much either. I would say the difference was also more options.
