But that's why they make both kinds. You can get whichever is a better value for you.

diesel motors also last a really long time since they run such low rpms.
if i had to purchase another truck no way would i buy a gasser for towing.
diesel has so much torque.
resale on the diesel is also higher as stated above.
one thing i would also recommend is the "Lariat(ford), or LT(chevy) interior.
my 3/4 ton is a LT version, and it is one of the most comfortable seats i have ever sat in. my dually is the LS version(standard), and it sucks in comparison.
the rpice on a used one with the good interior isnt much more(if any), and is well worth seaching for.
