2019 diesel
If I was going to buy diesel does it need to be driven everyday or can they sit for awhile without problems?

Really depends on how long it’s going to be sitting, and in what climate conditions.

Shouldn’t have any issues. I have a gas F350 that’s mainly just a plow truck; would drive it once a week during the summer just to make sure everything worked mechanically.

If you let it sit in the winter, may just want to make sure you have some anti-gelling in the tank if it’s really cold.
