re: To go with diesel or stay with gas…

They make all different type of trucks for a reason.
Some benefit more from a gas truck while others benefit more from a diesel truck.
They go regen sometimes if you do not run them enough.
Here a good description of a regen.
A forced regen occurs when soot builds up inside the diesel particulate filter (DPF) to the point that the vehicle is no longer operable. When this happens, a driver has to pull over and initiate a self-cleaning process that can take up to 40 minutes — valuable time that could have been spent on the road.

That's a description for a stationary regen, which should never happen on a pickup truck. You're idling WAYYYYYY too much or taking nothing but extremely short trips.
Normal Regens are largely transparent to the driver, and it will passively regen under the right conditions.
I.e. pulling my boat home today, I could watch the DPF load go backwards. Right combination of load and speed to burn off more soot than I was putting in.

You won't find any people who have gone from a diesel to a gas and prefer the gas performance. Gas wins financially and off road. Diesel wins everywhere else. Just so happens that the financial part is a pretty significant part.

I’m driving first gas truck in 20 years, waiting on new diesel to be built. When towing it burns a ridiculous amount of fuel and doesn’t get even equal fuel mileage to my 2020 F-250 when empty. Depreciation wise I’ve always found diesel trucks to be far better than half ton or SUV’s.

Google the price of injectors for that 2500 and get back with me. If its chump change to you, buy the diesel.
Not an issue if you change your fuel filters, and if you use a good fuel additive like the one made by Hotshot’s secret.

Thanks for the input. I should probably just wait until if/when I actually NEED a diesel and don't merely WANT one. I only wonder with the way things are going if there will be as many diesels (hell or v8 gassers) available for sale new in the next 20 years with all of the crazies.

I put about 30k miles per year on a truck. At twice the mpg it pays off. Especially since I idle about 2 hrs a day.

GM is going to put the 10 speed in the 2023 2500 6.6 gassers. I have a 2021 2500 with the 6 speed. The 6 speed is tried and true but would be nice to have the 10 speed. Rumor is will be a 1-2 MPG gain with the 10 speed. If its like the 1500's you will have to get into the higher trims to get the 10 speed.

Ford has made the 10 speed standard, right?
It's supposedly fantastic

Only with the 7.3 Gasser. The 6.2 is only available with the 6 speed.
