Hello and welcome to the forum.
You ask a tough question that only you can answer. You don't say what your truck needs are. If it is going to be a short trip daily driver, or you don't need the torque of a diesel, there's no reason to own a diesel.

Gearhead gave you good answers and advice but there's a lot more to understand.
I suggest you do a search of this and other forums as well as on Google, there's so much...

Follow up on my "SFT is dishonest. Time to divulge." post.
SFT has stopped opening my emails or maybe SFT has blocked them.
