For instance, an oil change (which included fuel filters) cost $140 vs. $30 for a gasser, two batteries to maintain and replace, etc. I completely understand torque/power. We plan to ful, time/part time. We will probably be gone 2-3 months at a time and travel from Alabama (where we live) across the country. It sounds like we really need a diesel even for the 373RD. From what I've read lately, the main difference between a F250 and a F350 (not talking dually) is the F350 has a beefier rear suspension.

Whats wrong with the 1 ton 7.3 if you're a Ford Driver? My nephew is an ASME Diesel mechanic. He has a 2019 F350 in his shop now . Fuel pump blew up contaminated the fuel system . 17,000.repair & can't get parts? I'll keep on dealing with my 6.4 Hemi Ram high rpms towing our 2021 295RL rather than going through the expense of owning a diesel.
