Why Buy a Diesel Truck?
If you're running a construction or landscaping business in Memphis, you know the importance of diesel-fueled trucks. But, just in case you're wondering how a diesel truck can take your business to the next level, here's how.
Super-Charged Towing Capability
When you need to pull construction equipment from one job site in Memphis to the next, gas-powered trucks might not get the job done. You need increased stability of diesel fuel. The compression resistance is larger in a diesel engine vs. regular gas power.
So, that means more torque output to give your truck a kick in the pants when you need to get moving. And more torque means more power. And more power means more towing capability. A diesel-powered Ford can take a Ford F-350's towing power from 18,000 lbs to 38,000 lbs. Easily.
Impressive Fuel Efficiency
You might think you'll spend your savings just to keep your diesel truck filled with gas. But you'd be pleasantly surprised at how efficient these heavy haulers are. According to a study comparing the fuel efficiency of gas and diesel engines, diesel engines were found to be 29 percent more efficient on the highway and 24 percent in the city. But how?
Diesel engines have more low-end torque than similar-sized gas engines. Diesel fuel contains about 10-15 percent more gasoline, so these engines can often go about 20 - 35 percent further on a gallon of fuel than the alternative.
Longevity and Resale Value
The average lifespan of a diesel truck is about 350,000 miles. The average annual mileage for a typical gas-powered vehicle is about 13,500 per year. But that's for daily drivers, so you probably won't come close to that with your diesel. But let's say you average that many miles per year. Even then, you're looking at almost 26 years of functionality for your diesel truck.
That's a long time to spend without worrying about buying a new truck for your business. And that's why a diesel truck's resale value is so high. If you plan on reselling it later down the line, chances are, you'll get a good payday in exchange.

So, which of our Ford trucks can you slap a diesel engine inside? Plenty. The 2023 Ford F-150 is a 3.0 diesel V6 with 250 horsepower and 14,000 lbs. of towing capacity. You can also install the available Ford Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel inside many of our super-duty Ford trucks. Other Ford diesel options include:
