I have and seen a few people get new 2011 F150 with the 6.5ft bed fully loaded trucks, with max. tow package and think that they are superduties. They tell me oh I can tow this or that, I smile and say yup. Once you drive a PSD or any of the big three diesels you most likely will not won't to go back to a gasser truck. At least that is me and my take on it.
Ditto. I've driven diesel buses and even facilities vehicles where I work that are diesel. They are amazing... especially for plowing. Plowing is a joke. They just keep going, and they don't care what is in front of them.

I'd love to own a diesel again... I once did, but it was broke and broke my bank. So I am holding off for a couple years and see how the new ones are holding up. But the problem is, like the 7.3 PS was out for such a long time, now Ford is changing the diesel engine like every 3 to 4 years, it makes it really hard to buy a new one without comparision.
