    @@shperaxthat’s true not to mention the cost of repairs on the newer trucks, 6000 without labour for a fuel pump. Back in the old days around 30 years ago where the diesels didn’t break down all the time and fuel was cheap it was actually viable to go diesel but now not so much. Why do you think Cummins of all companies is making gasoline engines now well amongs other types including diesel.

    When I sold cars and trucks my boss once loudly exclaimed, "A 150 is a light-duty pickup!" Light duty? They didn't look so light to me. But, as he often did, my boss proved right. What looked heavy to me, essentially a sports car guy, wasn't what a user of pickups thought of as heavy. When you look at capacities to tow and haul--things that men who use trucks in their jobs do every day--my boss's wisdom is evident. A 150 is for a homeowner who takes stuff to the dump, goes to Home Depot Saturday morning, or trailers a small fishing boat. Men who use a truck for work want real capacity on a daily basis. They want 250s, 350s, maybe larger, and often with a whompin' big diesel engine. And my boss also thundered, "Everybody wants to undertruck! Never let a customer undertruck! You'll just have someone mad at you four months later." He was right about that too.

    Any good you’re hearing is just rare cases where people got lucky, they were rushed through the engineering phase and they are horrible about blowing head gaskets and a lot of them will over fuel the back 2 cylinders and literally melt the pistons and wreck the entire motor. And they’re extremely expensive to fix when something does break. My advice is get a 7.3 powerstroke or a 6.7 if you can afford it

    @It'sYaBoiMirage - Because many Americans are insecure and try to compensate for their "small" or "low self esteem". Or it's just that some Americans who don't live or work in farms still love the feel of big trucks. I for instance love the feel of a race bike and why I own an R1 & S1000-RR for daily riding in the city even though I'm not a professional racer. It's not the same thing as trucks but you can get an idea of what I'm trying to say.

The US has a lot more rural areas and is a lot bigger than your average European countries. I’ve met two different couple from Europe that actually thought they could drive from NY to California in a day. I’m not sure Europeans that have never been here know how big the US really is.

He went to Alaska pulling his camper, I went to Arizona I made it back, his truck and camper are no where in sight and he won't say what happened 😅😅😅😅😅, I put 18000 on my truck pulling it.

    Only reason to buy a diesel is if you actually need the power now. With all the emissions killing the reliability and running costs it's pointless otherwise... GM 6.6 gas with the 10 speed Allison behind it does pretty good, and you can use it as a daily driver and not worry about clogging up the emission system.

    I beg to differ. I have a 1969 Chevy 3/4 4x4. I put a 454 in it that was professionally rebuilt basically stock. It may only get about 10 mpg empty but the mileage is the same pulling our 18' gooseneck stock trailer loaded with livestock. And it pulls just as well as our 2004 GMC Sierra 2500hd 4x4 with a duramax. The diesel gets better mileage both loaded and unloaded but not that much. And until recently it was cheaper to pay for the gas than the diesel. Also, I'm from the central valley of California. We had to take the 69 on vacation to Nevada one year. Once we fueled up with Nevada gas the fuel mileage jumped up unbelievably. Our 1991 S10 did the same thing on vacation in Nevada.
