even if you are right. Take 400 miles for example. You get 20 MPG Highway vs 11 gas. Ok lets say you have a 30 gallon tank.
36 gallons of gas used at 400 miles gas here is 3.43 so 400 miles would cost you 123 same mileage for diesel would run you 20 gallons at 4.19 a gallon 83 bucks for 400 miles. But your dumping 15 grand into a build. Gonna take you 375 fills with saving 40 bucks a fill up to get your invesment back.


Personally your going to see maybe 13-14 Towing and 15-17 Highway. So really your probably going to end up losing money. Just doesnt make sense to me. Why not just buy a diesel, not if you go to trade or sell it, who would want it.

:lolhit: LMAO O your one of them guys that beleave very thing they say on TV. i don't know how gave you that info but not in the real world. you mite want to do more research! You can even call Ford and they will tell you that they had to give up somthing to have that big ass mack truck front end. But they do have the biggest body in there class. So i guess if you like fat girls you need to buy a power joke ford!

lets say you have a 2005 4 door 4x4 gas power chevy truck with 114000 and then tou have that same truck with a diesel. Once you hite 100k with a gas motor there worth goes to sh** but the diesel is just breaking in and is still worth good money
