A 6.2 weighs ~600 lbs and a 6.7PSD weighs 990lbs dry.
Does that 6.7 figure also include an additional cooling system, heavier drive train and an exhaust system the size on a cruise missile?

I looked at several other brand trucks and the Ford Diesel trucks too and I could not find a payload over 3K like the 250 gasser. The 250 was well over a 1000 pounds better in payload than anything else I looked at.
The diesel engine weighs about 800 lbs more than a gas engine. 3/4 ton trucks are arbitrarily limited to 10,000 lbs to stay in that 2B class. A gas 3/4 ton truck with 10,000 lbs gvwr will ALWAYS have more payload than a heavier diesel. Its simple math.
If you want diesel and more payload, get a 1 ton. Essentially the same truck with no arbitrary GVWR.
So a 6.2 only weighs 300#?? Cummins the heaviest of the diesels only weighs 1,100#.
