[QUOTE="Allen, post: 386301, member: 389"] I don't think I would recommend the diesel for you. They are not necessarily designed as daily commuters (you say 30 miles/day, so I assume one-way is 15 miles). Fifteen miles is not enough for my 6.4 to go through a regen cycle. I live only 6-7 miles from work and there have been a fair number of times when I've used my truck that I've had to "drive around the block" due to it needing to complete a regen cycle or risk going into limp mode. I think the newer Fords have a regen on demand button, I really wish my truck had it. It regens about every 350 miles on average. Anyone care to share the details on the regen cycle for the newer F250s? As far as the cost of ownership? Yes, the initial purchase is $11k more, but with 165k on my truck, it's not been an expensive vehicle to maintain. A few radiator hoses under warranty, an exhaust gas backpressure sensor, and an exhaust manifold are the only repairs I've had to do so far. Oil and fuel filter changes are 2-2.5 times the cost of a gasser, but still not enough for me to complain about given how much I love the truck. [/QUOTE]
