Wintersun... where is it that you go that you have trouble finding diesel?
I have been in 49 states, all over Canada over the last 10 plus years... it has been years since I wondered about diesel availability. I realize that 1007 nights traveling might not match your experience... so I'd like to know where diesel isn't totally available so that I can mark my maps.
As far as the price of a diesel powered truck... it's only money... some guys spend that much on fancy wheels, cow catchers, and oversize tailpipe extensions... and a fortune on chips and mufflers.
Folks... diesel availability is NOT a problem... buy the right truck the first time... you won't have to buy another or spend a loton make believe.
BTW... I get 450 miles on 30 gallens of diesel.
that ain't bad.
