[QUOTE=hduncan;365562]One more thing to think about. This really became an issue when we had our Class A gasser. It is very difficult to find a gas station with enough space to accommodate a large RV and vehicle. When we moved over to diesel, we found using the truck stops a much more convenient and easier process to refuel. BTW, I prefer the Ford over the GMC. Just moved from a 2019 Ford F350 SRW to a 2021 Ford F350 DRW.[/QUOTE
This is exactly why we switched from a gas truck to a diesel. When we wintered in Florida two winters ago we had a heck of a time with our 5th wheel and gas truck being able to fit. Very stressful! Now it's easy in/easy out and stress free.

[QUOTE=RobWNY;365592]I agree about the stress of finding a suitable gas station location. My wife would begin the search for a gas station that could accommodate our rig when we had 100 miles remaining on the tank. There were a couple gas stations I had to ignore once I got onsite because there was no way to get in there safely. Like you said, it is now easy in and easy out.

I ordered my 2017 F350 diesel dually 8' bed. It is a supercab so a bit shorter than a crew cab. Also ordered it with 3.55 axle to get a little better mpg than 4.10's. 3.55 diesel is plenty of power in my opinion.

We are not pulling 5er's....... yet.......... but I've also never pulled using a diesel. The new 6.6L gas seems to work for our application. Great as a daily driver. I'm a DIY home mechanic so maintenance for me was a big deal and a diesel scares me b/c of my lack of knowledge. High pressure fuel system, multiple fuel filters, turbos, 2 batteries, 50 gallon oil changes (j/k) ect. so my lack of experience ultimately drove me away from purchasing a diesel. I also commute a relatively short distance for work (10 miles) and I've been told this is bad for a diesel? Is there any truth to that, I'm not sure. Overall, very happy with my purchase, just wanted to share.
