No def fluid to worry about with gas. Less complicated engine. I understand that gas engines are more efficient than they used to be. More powerful as well. Thinking about Fords new 7.3 litre gas engine. But still nowhere near the performance and torque of the diesel. But I’m hauling 4500lbs or so. Not towing 20,000 or more. So I’m really conflicted.
We in the West tend to over-truck, F150 properly configured may be more practical.
Da fuk?

I got a 2020 Ford F350 Diesel 6.7L engine. Payload listed on the "yellow sticker" is 4585lbs. This is perfectly adequate for a camper with a listed dry weight of 3285 (actual on my camper is 3350lbs). My truck has an increased GVWR of 12,500 and is an XLT package if anyone is interested. Just letting folks who want a NL 10-2 and a SRW truck know that a very comfortable combination is available.
Oh my. My 2018 F350 6.7 drw, crew cab, 4x4, 8' bed has a payload sticker of 5500 lbs. The drw option must add 1,000 lbs payload.
Oh my!
Ya think?

I ix it all air bags super springs, timbres, you na it I tried it . Then I talked to a real expert, and who is a real expert when it comes to suspension on vehicles. Truck Campr sales lots have the easy to install things that make them money ( mostly) A Suspension shop are experts fro small to large trucks. I was told a story about superstrings that were put on ambulances. turned out not to be the very best solution, same with the other little goodies. A shop that specializes in everything from ambulances, truck campers semi trucks one shop in my arenas been in business for 55 years they do work for the local cities ,counties the state, and private enterprise. my truck was a 2007 dually long bed, over the years the springs were out of factory specs. they put the springs back to factory specifications, then he added a extra spring in the middle. All this was done with the camper on the truck it does not sag bounce porpoise any of those weird things you here about on forums. If you want expert work see a expert
