[QUOTE="Ductape, post: 3854450, member: 14319"] As has already been suggested, two very different trucks. F250 with duals on it doesn't give it a higher GVW than it has with the original single wheels. Personally, with gas @ $4 / gal you couldn't get me to buy a 460 if you paid me. However, if it is something you are literally only using a couple thousand miles per year, then the added expense of fuel is negligable. My 97 F350 with 7.3 powerstroke gets 20 mpg on the highway.... very respectable. As has already suggested, 4 wheel drive is a must if you are cutting off road. If it is a truck that is more to deliver some firewood you are selling.... 2wd will likely be fine. Out of those two , personally, I'd buy the diesel hands down. [/QUOTE]
