I think that it depends on your use and from your description of use, a gasoline model would be more practical. My last truck was an older 7.3 powerstroke F250 which was good enough but every second service seemed to be $1000 for a sensor, injector etc. I did the basics myself. Also for hunting the massive diesel engine kept trying to go back to the bowels of the earth where it originated. Too heavy for cutlines. In '13 I bought a new off the lot plain Jane GM 2500HD with the 6.0 vortec. Best truck I have owned. But it is is 4 years old and has 57k km on it.
