Thinking of moving up

Yeah. I wish diesel was cheaper than gas around here. It's probably been at least 8 years since I've seen diesel cheaper than gas. Typically it is more expensive than super unleaded.

Do it!! I'm still debating on getting rid of my ecoboost for a 6.7 platinum 350. Or if I can find a clean low mileage 6.4. I came from a 99 cclb 7.3 and could manage 18-20mpg with a 6" lift on 37s. Very impressive for a 10k lbs truck.

To be honest id get a F-250 6.7L powerstroke in a second! I love the new ones. Just look around for a used Lariat or XLT idk if you really want the NAV dash or not. But I would love to have a diesel and lift it a little and put some 35-37" tires on it. But you Canadian guys must get the cheap diesel cause I'm in OH and WV right now and both states diesel is higher than all forms of gas same down in FL and PA

If you are using a superduty as a general commuter don't forget it handles and rides way different then a f150, in a bad way.

I came from a ccsb LMM duramax. It would be hard for me to go back. Nothing I will ever own that is towable warrants me owning a diesel. The sacrifice in ride quality isn't worth it.
Towing large loads is the main reason you buy a turbo diesel.

I think my 1 ton 350 rode better than my f150.... Also I don't blame you not wanting to get back in to a Chevy.

Damn... Anything over $4 is expensive didn't know you guys had it that bad up there. Down here I was just talking about in terms to our gas prices. But ya I know super duties are known to handle differently they have rigid, stiffer suspensions. But honestly I wouldn't get one unless I was definitely towing with it even just a little, but some people just love diesels and get them for that
