Forgot to say the truck is also 4x4 package or something like that that I really didnt need, but point is...
that a this truck is rated to pull 23000 lbs on the goose neck hitch all day from the factory. A gas truck is no where near that. So if your pulling rarely or small loads, it makes no sense to have a diesel. It also makes no sense to drive a heavy duty truck around to pick up dog food or groceries.
