Although all the new diesel emissions suck.

BTW,nice truck. I've never seen a gas King Ranch before.
I searched and searched for this truck and they said they couldn't find one any where in the US, so I had to have it ordered.

While the diesel trucks may have higher resale value, they also cost about $6000 more when you buy them....so the question you have to ask is do they have a $6000 better resale then gassers???

I also tend to keep cars so long that resale isn't much of an issue....still have an '85 F-150 my father ordered in '84....1 car with 185k miles and 1 with 142k miles.....
