Hey all. Figured I could chime in here as a great place for my first post. I operate gas wells and plants in Alberta and have owned a few SD's over the years. All of these previous SD's have been Lariat or Platinum diesels. A 2003 Lariat 2" level, 2008 Lariat 6" lift, 2009 Cabelas stock height, 2011 2.5" level, 2014 Platinum 2.5" Ready Lift SST, 2016 Lariat 3.5" Ready Lift SST. After that was 2017 and a 2019 F150's with 3.5 EcoBoosts and 3.5" Ready Lift SST's. When I ordered my 2022 F250 I never even looked at the 6.7 PSD; and went straight to the 7.3 Godzilla. Since my 2003 it seemed like the price kept going up and the fuel mileage kept going down. As well as the cost of maintaining and running a diesel also kept climbing. On my 2016 I was only getting about 14.5 L/100 kms or ~ 15 mpg; which is also what I get out of a 3.5 EcoBoost in combined driving. The diesel will do better unloaded on the hwy than the 7.3 Godzilla no doubt, but as a daily driver and since I don't own a trailer of any kind the 6.7 PSD made no sense to me anymore. As the emissions restrictions continue to kill the fuel mileage on the modern diesels and the price of diesel is no longer an advantage I can't understand why anyone that doesn't NEED a diesel engine would ever want to own one as a daily driver or a work truck.
