You choose - loaded gas or basic diesel?
If you had to buy a SD/HD truck today, what would you choose... a loaded, leather gas model or a diesel with cloth and just a few basic gadgets? Assume similar price, which is what I am finding.

I'll be the contrarian that votes loaded gas.
Diesels are great but IMO, with today's gas engines' output & durability I feel that the "need" for diesels starts around 11-12k loaded weight.
My F250 is an XLT & frankly I miss power seats, heated leather seats, dual zone climate, etc...just me, others could care less. I had loaded models & I've had lesser trim, from now on I'll go for the niceties every time. I actually prefer driving my 1999 Land Cruiser over my F250 due to much nicer seats & the ability to get the seat exactly where I want it (power adjustability).
