step on it pretty hard for a while. After a couple tanks of gas it should tighten up

I came from a F250 diesel we got for towing a 34 ft travel trailer. I said I would never go gas again no matter what. I test drove the TD6 and then the SI6, extensively. As far as fun driving goes the SI6 won out. I was dead set on the diesel for mileage and the torque but when I drove the gasser it was impossible for me to go with diesel. There is a little more maintenance with a diesel but that should not sway anyone buying a $70k plus vehicle. Decide what you want from it Day in and day out. I am getting better mileage out of the gasser than any truck I have ever had. Had F150 eco boost before the F250 powertstroke. I am happy and I love the way this thing grips the road and lurches forward with authority when I want it to. The TD6, as much as I really wanted it and loved it, lacked in that area compared to the gasser. Just IMO.

Same here, went in buying a diesel, came out with a gasser.

I was not impressed with the diesels performance. The mileage on the sticker was not as good as I had hoped for either.

in addition my wife daily drives 10 miles to work, 10 miles back and we don’t tow.

I always hear people say there’s more Mx. What is there with the td6 that the si6 doesn’t have? I’ve owned two diesels and 5 gassers so far and the diesels were more hands off.

on a new engine you always want to drive it rough. I know it’s counter intuitive but it helps the engine settle and the pistons expand to the proper size so fuel doesn’t work it’s way into the oil diluting it.

keep in mind the diesels of today are not the same as yesteryear. They didn’t have high pressure injection and the like. I consider diesels to be more hands off.
