Gas trucks generally get terrible mpg's,but are a good bit cheaper to maintain..Diesels get great mpg's and last twice as long so you make your money back.If you get a pre emision diesel (2007 and earlier),that will eliminate the most common problem on a modern diesel,which is the emission system.Diesels have a higher price tag (as well as resale value) but you should expect to get 400k-500k miles,maybe more if taken care of so it pays for itself.Pre emission engines can be worked on pretty easily by the home mechanic..And I am sure you will appreciate the extra power and fuel mileage.I am not trying to push towards diesels,after all,there are some applications a gas truck is better,for instance,if you don't need 3/4 ton or larger and a 1/2 ton would be more than enough,in which case it would be gas,but it really depends on your needs,and obviously it will be your truck,so make sure it works for you.I personelly would not want a diesel with all the emission junk,so if given the choice between that and gas,I would take a gas truck first.I have seen way too many people spend $60k on a truck,then in 5 years the emission system sends false readings and over heats the engine with out warning,blowing up the engine that costs $15k to replace.

She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
