I, on the other hand have owned both. For me, the gasser just fit MY situation better (very short commute/extremely cold temps in winter/not towing heavy). No more, no less.
This is NOT me bashing the diesel (SouthTexan) simply what works better for me.
To each their own definitely applies here!
Why was I named in thinking you were bashing diesels here?
As I said earlier in this very thread.....
Although this is more of a "why I chose a ____ versus _____" thread instead of diesel versus gas thread as the title implies. That kind of thread would be an all out war with me against just about everyone else here it seems. Which is okay because that is just how I like it.
Here is my take on it as I have stated many times before. I chose what I chose because I wanted it. Pure and simple. Do I "need" a diesel? No, the 6.4L would probably do 99% of I need it to do albeit in a different manner that I do not like. Everyone has their own reasons why they bought what they did, and not everyone's reasons are the same. Neither is what everyone looks for in a truck. To say the 6.4L is the end all be all engine for everyone is just as false as saying the Cummins is the end all be all engine for everyone. However, I wanted a Cummins over the 6.4L or the 5.7L and don't really feel the need to justify why by pointing out the negatives of the other.
Everyone has their reasons and some like what you stated are valid. Some reasons are not valid and those are the ones I debate. Don't confuse me debating the non-valid reasons for me thinking that all reasons are bashing like many other people here do. Some people here have the mindset that it is all or nothing. That if you even think that one reason is invalid then you must think all reasons are or if you dislike one thing about the 6.4L then you hate it all. I don't share that mindset. Everything has it's good and bad.
