Everybody talks about diesel trucks, but nobody talks about gas trucks.  My old boss had several 6.0 chevy in the fleet with high 200s. Do you expect to get 300,000 out of a new gas truck?

Not in Alaska and especially not in Bush AK.

Cold,calcium chloride and rough roads take their toll.

I still have my work truck from Fairbanks down here in Kentucky. 1997 Long Bed Crewcab F-350 with 351w. It drove over 250,000 miles up there and has since gotten another 80k down here. I don't care for the newer shit but I would take a gas 6.8 or 7.3 over any diesel these days. My frame was rust free before moving down here in 2021 and first thing I did was get it undercoated here in KY.
