I wouldn't mind paying extra for the diesel, but the reason I went with gas was I wanted the lightest weight Super Duty that fit my needs. That right there is another actual difference between the two, and a benefit for me, even if you weren't aware of it until just now.
What do you specifically need the lightest truck for?
The dually pickup has the same frame design. Having owned a 2wd 6.7 2020 F350 dually I will say they tow better but its not substantially better than my f250 at 15k conventional or 17k gooseneck. Getting over that and the drw has much more margin, but rides like absolute garbage truck.
My DRW rides great, better than the SRW 2012 I had. It is one SMOOTH truck.

Ditto. Ride is subjective and people have different expectations but I have four SRW's and two DRW's and I don't notice much of a difference in ride between the two....people complaining probably run the air pressure much higher than they need to on the dually. The DRW is overkill on smaller trailers but on some loads (truck campers, job site trailers, larger bumper pulls and 5th wheels), I find them much more stable and reassuring.
these newer SD trucks rides WAY BETTER than ANY older compatible truck : period.
Amen.
Did you ever drive a 79 F350 dually that the 3 longest leaf springs were doubled on? That’s how we used to have the spring packs built for tow trucks. They would haul anything all day with negligible squat.
You would find loose fillings and weak bladders quickly though.
Managed to find a CPO F350 King Ranch, 6.7L SO, 6.75 bed, 5K miles in Antimatter blue w/bronze two tone. New to both diesels and SD's but the drive home from the dealer was very nice. Might be a touch stiffer in the rear but then it should be. Very nice truck and I am happy.
