My 22 F250 7.3 gas pulls just as good as the previous 16 2500 6.6 diesel. More payload available and a mpg difference of 1 mpg in favor of the diesel. I just sold a 22 F250 7.3L. 50 miles down the road pops a check engine light. Cats bad, only 4,000 for the parts. Ouch. Wouldn't Ford cover that under emissions?

Toss up between the Toyota V6 Turbo or GM 3.0 Diesel. I'll cross this road when I have to part ways with my 05 Duramax, but she's still running strong. Toyota Tundra owners are having some issues with the new tundras. I’d let them get the bugs worked out. From reading the Facebook groups, the new ones are not exhibiting the high quality that Toyota is known for. Only problems get reported- I know a few that are trouble free. I agree but some are having catastrophic engine failure. I’m not saying they are bad, I’m just saying that some are having issues that aren’t typical of Toyota quality.

Before I retired I drove company trucks, They were 3/4 ton Gassers both Chevy and Fords.
With regular maint I never had any major issues with either one. I drove 70-75K a year.
Glad I don't drive that much anymore.Got a new one every 2 yrs.

I drive a company sled now, so I run the wheels off and get a new one.
When I bought my own I ran diesel for the life. I put a half million miles on my 01 7.3 and it was still running strong, no gas burner can match that. Pat that is the old 7.3 the new ain’t that grand with def and all the added bs.
I got all day I’m retired
