Diesel truck last longer I believe without a lot of mant. I have had 4 Diesel trucks all that have well surpased the 300,000 mile mark without a whole lot of trouble. I have had to replace trannys but thats not too bad with that many miles on them. A 3/4 ton diesel without a trailer will get me 16-18 mpg and a 3/4 ton gas truck without a trailer got me 10-12 mpg.
