Ford superduty inventory ?

I am looking to order a F350 to tow my new Montana fifthwheel. Even though I've owned ford diesels in the past, I had my heart set on ordering a 6.2 gas with 4.30 gears since I will only be towing in New England and under 2,000 miles a year.
Well now I am starting to second guess my decision on the gas engine even though I know it will do the job. My main reasons for second guessing is because of power and resale value although I would be more likely to keep the gas rig longer since it's cheaper to fix out of warranty. During my truck quest, I can't help but notice that the ford dealers are loaded with 2015 power strokes and also a lot of 2011-2014 trade ins. Some 2014's have less than 2,000 miles on them. It makes me wonder, are they traded do to problems? Also, is the lots loaded with 2015 diesels because people want them or because the dealer is stuck with them?

The 6.7 Power Strokes are very reliable and make great daily drivers too. Many people buy 3/4 or 1 ton trucks and don't really need them and the rougher ride makes many who are use to a 1/2 ton trucks ride go back to a 1/2 ton truck.

BTW... At the local Ford dealer here I see several used Super Duty's and used RAM 2500/3500 trucks on the used Ford lot just about all the time. The resale for the Super Duty's 6.7 PSD are so high that it's economically better to purchase new.

Good luck... 6.2 or 6.7 PSD are both great engines with great Torque Shift 6 speed transmissions.
