I'm actually starting to lean that way as well. It's as capable as my older diesel, plus it's a little smaller and friendlier for my wife to drive. And they're certainly much, much more comfortable than my 2001 F250 by simple virtue of being newer.
I just don't want to buy a new $40k truck that will just sit in my driveway for 90% of the time. If I could find one used with the options I need for like <$25k, I'd be all over it in an instant. But, the crew-cab with the longer bed and all the towing stuff is hard to find, and the ecoboost motor didn't show up until 2011. So, there seem to be just as many F150's that fit my needs as there are 7.3L SuperDuties.
