I'm sure with the combined knowledge and experience here, you all could help point me in the right direction. I'm looking to replace my 2014 Tahoe with a truck for practical purposes. I work in my vehicle for about 8 hours a day, mostly idle with stop and goes in between, 5 days a week, about 9 months (Oct-June) a year. Besides that, I put about 20-30k miles per year on my vehicle. I bought my Tahoe 3 years ago with 40k miles and just hit 140k.
I trade in my vehicle every 3-4 years and I'd like to keep my next vehicle for at least 5-7 years.
I don't do any hauling, though if I did, it would be very light.
I'd like to spend around 30-35k on a used truck.
I like the 2015-2016 F250 super duty and prefer to drive a larger vehicle.
Do you think a diesel would be worth it or should I stick with gas and not worry about the higher costs involved with owning a diesel? I'm looking at diesel because I plan on buying used and want to keep it for many years.
The only input I've received so far is my co-worker recommended a newer, lighter used non-diesel and just trade it in after a few years...
