Lost the old rig time to rebuild
We are moving from a Ram 5500 to a F350. Insurance was too high on the "commercial truck" Considering a Gas over Diesel. More payload would be nice and the savings of a Gas vehicle over diesel is no...

What would make you think a gas engine would get better mileage than a diesel?
Good you got a diesel for several reasons but another maybe not considered is, you don’t seem like someone who keeps a vehicle “forever”. You will lose way more on a gas dually on resale or trade, whether 3 years or 23 years from now.
You’d have to find the right buyer and when you do they would also likely realize what it’s worth.
I had planned to keep the Ram but we were t-boned. Its totaled and our camper. Thus the reason for the change. Considered gas briefly but Diesel just makes more sense. This is going to be our long term truck. I likely never would have sold the 2019 F450 but 2022 made a 3 year old truck with 30k miles worth more than I paid for it. So sold it and looked for F550's. Ford had 0 inventory anywhere. Ram had many to choose from.
