[QUOTE="REX-RACER, post: 11119742, member: 14222"] Wow, I won't get into the argument but I will say excellent write up! :thumbsup: I'm hoping to be in the market for a new truck around this time next year. I've been leaning toward the F250 w/ the 6.2l gas engine and reading this review has given me some things to think about. As you state in the article I am one, never having owned a diesel before, who didn't know about the extra maintenance costs of owning a diesel. Basically I will be using the truck much like 500Hoss for things like occasionally towing a car trailer w/ possibly two cars or a fifth wheel camper home but the majority of the time it probably won't be towing or hauling anything. I'm also thinking that if I'm not happy w/ the towing capacity I could always add a supercharger or turbo for around $4k which is about half of the diesel engine option and still not have to worry about the diesel engine maintenance issues. One thing that isn't noted and I'm kind of curious about, is there any difference in insurance costs for the diesel vs gas engines in comparable trucks? [/QUOTE]
