Here it is everyone 5 reasons why not to buy a diesel truck in 2022. In this video I give the 5 reasons I think you should at least consider before buying a diesel truck including need vs want, fuel cost, emissions issues and more. My 2022 Ford Super Duty f-350 has been great for me but there is more to consider with a diesel vs a gas truck purchase. Enjoy....

I can really go for a mean tweet and a dollar gas right now

[oldskipper]

My 99 7.3 runs perfect, I can work on it and no emissions BS. I don't need a race truck, just reliable ability to move whatever I need to.

[troynoall]

I agree with your comments. The only reason why I keep my diesel is because it's paid for and not a daily driver. 👍

[m.sand-]

If the price is high or over priced of course bad time. But my F350 6.7 with its 740+ mile range per fill up and roughly 22+ MPG average w/wo trailer half the time. I love it. Can’t live without it, mentally.

[mikemike]

I'm a professional diesel repair technician of 23 years. I can definitely say a diesel truck will cost you 2x more in maintenance than a gas in overall ownership. Not including replacing injectors, pumps etc! If you're not towing then don't buy it to be more manly. You will regret it.

[mcfluffier]

Something my FIL told me is to never buy fuel if the ground around the pump is too clean. Dirty ground means a lot of trucks means they go thru fuel more often.

[tractorfixrable]

Agree with every point. I have a 2021 F550 service truck and opted to order with the 7.3 gas. No regrets.

[ericmondey]

So I’ve been primarily a gas driver for my entire life. This main reason I’m looking into getting a diesel is the price of gas trucks. The half tons are almost the same price as diesel trucks On top of that they last longer, hold their value longer, and give you the extra freedom when you need to tow something.

[DonkeyHammer]

#4 : Its not a matter of need, its a matter of a want I can afford. Although I will admit if fuel cost gets much higher the F350 will get parked more often.

[Gatekeeper-pg]

Appreciated your straight forward answer to the question you are 100% correct on the maintenance of a diesel engines a lot of people don't know how much maintenance a diesel engine requires to keep them running smoothly 👍

[TIREDOFEVIL]

You are never going to change the minds of a die hard diesel fanatic or gas man, I can only put in my 2 cents. Had a 2003 F350 duley with a old IDI 7.3 with a 5 spd with over 220, 000 miles on it with no major component failures other than a alternator. Yes I changed out the POS glow plugs kept up with the coolant ph, did not pull anything over 10, 000lbs and yes I was passed going up steep grades, but still getting high teens as a norm. Due to a medical mistake had to give up the 5spd so went to research a new tow rig. Ended up ordering a 2021 F250 due to the problems Ram and GM were having with their engines with their on demand engine fuel management systems. which turned into a 2022 model do to the component shortages. I still wanted the power and torque of the diesel but without the added maintenance down the road which is why I ordered it with the new 7.3 and 4.30 elock in the rear. All the towing capacity I need minus the 10, 000 dollar option, just my 2 cents.

Diesel has unfortunately become a high maintenance girlfriend... seems fun at first but most people will eventually grow tired of it and realize that it's not worth the effort (or money). Diesel engines are a unique upgrade in the sense that they require so much more effort to maintain, on top of being less reliable due to emissions equipment and 3x the cost in service. No other consumer vehicle suffers from anything like this when going for the top performing engine. I'd love for Ford to sell a supercharger or twin turbo option for the 7.3 gasser.

Needed a truck in 2012. Paid 6 grand for a used 99 Cummins Dodge with 190, 000 miles on it. Finally put money in it 2 years ago and last year. Now 260, 000 miles on it.
5 reasons to keep an old Dodge diesel.
1 Paid for.
2 Don't care if it gets a dent.
3 Tows anything hitched up to it.
4 Uses same amount of fuel empty or towing 10, 000 lbs.
5 Goes in snow up to the front bumper.

[justsumguyu]

It's really much more simplistic than most people make it out to be. If you're into towing frequently, then by all means, buy a diesel. They have far more torque, and are ideal for towing---this especially includes you trailer-towing crowd. But if all you do is haul loads in the back of your truck (or nothing at all), there's no reason for you to own a diesel--the increased cost of maintenence offsets the mpg gains

[JB-uwyh]

Good considerations, Im considering letting my diesel go for some of those reasons.. Politics are playing a big part, fuel costs are artificially inflated, they figure if they make it so expensive, they can force you electric.. All done on purpose.. sad state we are in..

[ronbown]

I bought my 2008 E350 6.0 powerstroke before 2021 That's been deleted and studded and I love it as long as the diesel prices don't go $3 higher than the regular gas so if it's $4.40 a gallon for regular as long as it doesn't go over $7 a gallon it's still cheaper because I'm getting 21 mi per year gallon versus my 13 miles to the gallon.

[michaelcopeland]

1-5 because of the emissions.
Other then that, all 3 big diesels, you really can't go wrong with.

[douglasvandyke]

I have a 2006 Duramax extended cab, with under 90, 000 miles and in perfect shape. Seldom use it but from what I learned from you, it must be worth much more than a non diesel. No additives needed other than a little into the fuel.

[jakebanack]

Considering gas and diesel is roughly the same price these days, my deleted 6.7 gets better mileage than most half tons, so fuel prices aren’t a factor

[randy]

I bought a 2022 F350 Lariat Tremor and have zero regrets! I love it!
