I often consider a diesel as my next truck. I'm curious as to why you switched.
I switched to a diesel and then switched back. I loved the power and towing of my F350. I wasn't really towing much anymore and the F350 just wasn't ideal anymore (Insurance was way more, needed a daily, didn't fit in the new garage, oil changes are pricey).
Very happy I'm back in a F150 now. Bonus for me is that if I ever need my F350, it's my Dad's now and I can borrow it
Tow with your gasser then hook up to the same load with a 3/4 ton diesel. You'll immediately know why. The ease of towing is night and day. It was easier to pull 15-18k with my last couple 3/4 ton Cummins rigs than 6-8k with my current truck.
I don't tow much anymore so I've moved down to the half ton world. I enjoy driving my 150 more as a daily but on the two trailers I've hooked up to I miss my diesels for towing...and these were light trailers. 800+ ft/lbs of torque is a thing.
Yeah.... I tow a 17.5 foot race boat and a 24-foot pontoon twice a year.
I'll always love my F-150(s), but I needed a truck that could handle a slide-in camper. F-150s can handle some of the lightest slide-ins (w/heavy duty payload package), but I wanted more options. the F-150 community is generally way more into modding, which is why I still hang around and admire the beauty of these trucks.

the diesels are the prestige and have the towing power, but I was looking for payload capacity in the truck bed, so gasser was my choice (hundreds more pounds of payload capacity for each trim).
