If you had a choice would you get, F-350 4X4 turbo diesel, Or F-250 4X4?
All you would tow is you trailer, that fits four or five atv’s.
Please some one talk me out of the “350”

At this point, gas is 1.93 a gallon, diesel is 1.67 a gallon. The 350 will require more maintanece, but will outlast the 250. If I could afford it, I'd go with the 350. Sorry, guess I didn't help talk you out of it.

Where I'm at gas has gone down to $2.27 and diesel is $2.39.
I can see no reason to have a gas burner in a heavy pickup. Towing a trailer the gas motor will suck fuel, a diesel will get better mpg than a gas and have more power.
The gas engines are designed to make their maximum hp and tq at higher rpm's. The diesel makes its hp and tq at a very low rpm which is what you need if pulling trailers.
I think you would be happier with the oil burner myself.
