The fleet sales is what pushes the numbers toward gas rather than diesel. Most 250/2500 work trucks in this area are gas. Privately owned trucks are more likely diesel even if they are used for nothing more than daily drivers. That may change with the costs of diesel on top of the cost of the engine.
Makes perfect sense.
Big gas engines can tow/haul a lot and the days of 100k miles and the engine is toast are from 40yrs ago. At the same time with all the electronics and emissions gear, diesels are no longer the simple devices that run forever like 40yr ago.
Companies tend to be less about ego and if their drivers need to listen to the RPM wind up a bit to get the job done, so be it as long as it's the cheaper option.
Having bought used, when I see a work truck, it's almost always gas. When you see a goorped up personal truck, it's usually diesel.
