[QUOTE="FinFighter, post: 386253, member: 1066"] I switched from an F250 Diesel to the newer 7.3 gas (2022 crew cab XLT). My camper is a 5th wheel and weighs about 12000 loaded. I haven't missed the diesel a bit. I like that I don't have the maintenance cost over my head, and don't have to worry about temps during the winter since it's an "outside" truck. The price at the pump is a little better with gas as well. One convenience you will not have are the stand-alone diesel islands at the fuel stations. You have to plan accordingly when you fill, as some of the small gas stations won't work with a camper hooked on. I sometimes have the boat hooked with the camper, and then it's impossible. It is not my daily driver; I got a little work car for that. That may be your biggest factor as to what you decide to purchase. The 7.3 will not save you any miles running without a load. I only get around 13 mpg running around town. Pulling, I get about 9 mpg. I didn't get the 7.3 to appease the tree huggers, I bought it to tow. You won't know that 7500-pound camper is back there with either one. You have a tough choice. My biggest reason for the change is that I didn't drive my last truck other than pulling, or a few hunting/fishing trips. Letting a diesel sit isn't the thing to do. You won't have this issue as it will get driven regularly. Just a few thoughts, let us know which way you go. [/QUOTE]
