The "gas has more payload" line is a complete load of bunk. While technically true on the door tag it means absolutely nothing in terms of real world weight carrying capacity.
True... but if you are going out to buy a truck, why not buy the 1 ton with overloads, rather than the 3/4 ton and adding to it?
That's a different question although it gets brought up so much here I understand you going there. The issue raised was payload rating on a gas 250 versus a diesel 250...yes it's technically higher on the gas truck, but drop 3000 lbs in the bed of either and you have an identical result from a load carrying standpoint.
