Zeke-BE Report post Posted June 16, 2015 I love my diesel. I love it I can haul a 12,000 lb trailer up hill on the beeline or the I-17 going 65 mph while the gas truck is going in the slow lane going 35 mph. But if this is all about the mighty $ then your better off with the gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted June 16, 2015 I've done all my own oil changes (over 50) except for a few on a 2000 F250 7.3 and probably 90% of them was with Rotella T6 and a Motorcraft Filter with with tax is close to $100.00 since it takes 15qts and I but four one gallon jugs. Fuel Filters run about $35 and get changes every 15K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunDevil Report post Posted June 16, 2015 I had this same decision last year after buying a 24' boat. I went with the 6.0L GMC 2500 gas engine truck. I only get 10 MPG when I am towing my boat but that happens less than 10 times a year. For my use/purpose, the advantages of the diesel truck did not justify the added expense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
