Keep our diesel or get a gas truck?
We have a 2012 Ram 2500 diesel. We pull our 5er approximately 5 times per year, 50 mile round trip each time. Otherwise it's just a daily driver. Dh takes it to work which is a 15 mile trip one way...

It's funny how many folks who talk of the benefits of driving a pickup fifteen years and 300,000 miles show vehicles two or three years old in their signatures. (Yes, I know there are exceptions) I haven't put over 100,000 miles on one since the 90's. I don't care what fuel it burns, I don't want to drive a ten year old vehicle.
I own 1957, 1981, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2015 vehicles. The 2015 replaced a 2005 because my needs changed and not because I did not want to drive a 10 year old vehicle. I prefer to buy new primary vehicles but will typically buy used if they are still serviceable by me as a backyard mechanic.
Some people are happy that others turn over vehicles more often because it fills the used market with choices they can afford. Selling a used vehicle that still has life will net you more than something that has to be thrown away, yet it has little value if your needs have changed since your initial purchase.
