I see quite the opposite here. We are seeing more gas powered trucks from all the big three makers every day. One of my best friends dad is in sales at a very large volume Ford dealer in Metro Atlanta and he has said a couple of times that the gas engine sales are often times equal to the diesel and a couple of months been higher. Especially in fleet sales. We have also ordered 5 new ambulances this year. All F-450 with the 6.8 V10. Now this really doesn't mean squat. But I think it's a sign of the simplicity, reliability, and performance in these newer and very capable gas engines. Look for the trend to continue IMHO. Maybe why there's konot that many gassers sitting on the lots vs.their diesel counterparts???

The new generation gas 3/4-1 ton trucks are fine, however they have their limitations--about 10,000 lbs dry weight towing. Any more weight and diesels are required. And those driving mega miles will do better with diesels.

My truck came from Akin Ford in Winder, GA. He's by far the largest Ford dealer in the Atlanta area and see what he sells. When I bought my truck, he had more diesels in stock than many states. I just like the way the diesel engines pull through the mid range and their durability.

Just because they had mostly diesel on the lot does not at all mean that is always mostly what they sell. One reason there's not as many gassers is because they sell pretty quickly. And as others have stated, dealers stock what the profit margin is in on the lot. And where does your 10,000k dry weight figure come from because its completely bogus! Or is it just your opinion?
