I had one farm pickup that was a diesel, a 2003 F350 with the 6.0L diesel. I nearly broke me. If it wasn't wiring it was the intercooler, or the injectors. When the 6.2L gas engine appeared, with more horsepower and torque than the old standby Ford 7.3L diesel, I jumped on it with all fours. It's been a super good decision. I regularly pull a 1600 gallon nurse tank filled with water. That's almost 6 1/2 tons of water, plus the weight of the trailer itself. It pulled loads of peanuts for years, at harvest time, that would gross 20,000 pounds. Never a problem, and still get 11-12 mpg. I'd be ashamed to ask for better.
