What Would You Do?
Would like a little advice from the group, but don't want to start a war. We currently own a 2003 Ford F350 dually with the notorious 6.0L diesel with a standard 6 speed transmission. I have put a lot...

when we got our diesel it was 2002 and our 87 f250 460 was not as reliable as it once was.After another problem that had the truck down for a week we decided to get another truck because our backup to the 87 had died (a 79).
DWs search was for a F250 or F350 stick shift SC LB 4x4 V10 or we could go with a diesel, DRW wasn't on our list.
We are farmers we haul very heavy loads a t times, in the bed and/or in the stock trailer, 16ft flatbed or 24ft GN flatbed.
She found the truck we have now and I decided we could live with the training wheels if the price was right. The dealer came down a long ways to meet our price.
We didn't know we would decide to start Truck camping again a few years later. Before we got the camper we were very impressed with the diesel and the DRW.
Much better stability. And then when we got the TC it was just perfect.
We still use the 87 to haul with when we have the camper on or for some reason the other truck is tied up. Also use it for our dirty work and it is the backup in case we have a breakdown.
We could live very well with a gas engine. But then we used to haul A camper and trailer a 6cyl and then a 283 and then a 360 and we went slow but were content.
The diesel puts a grin on my face every time we use it.But the gas can do any job it does, I won't go back to gas or SRW .
