U-Haul had to stop offering Diesel trucks because retards like this kept putting gas into the tank. Penske still offers Diesel because it is out of the price range of most subhumans, at least their Diesel trucks are ( which are their biggest trucks )
Penske basically focuses on large trucks and long distance moves, while U-Haul focuses on small trucks and in-town moves. Although in theory there is almost 100% overlap in what they offer in practice they serve different purposes and demographics.
It's the same as how for car rentals Enterprise and SIXT both have a largely overlapping range of cars but in practice nobody rents Mercedes from Enterprise and nobody rents Toyota from SIXT. Enterprise bread and butter is Hyundai and Toyota while SIXT bread and butter is BMW and Mercedes.
I only had good experience with U-Haul but my moves were basically in-town moves. driving from Brooklyn to New Jersey even though you cross state lines you're still inside NYC metro area.
driving down to Florida is different and is more of a Penske Diesel situation. gas is good for city because there are not many truck stops that sell diesel in the city and you aren't driving far so fuel economy is irrelevant. diesel is good for long distance because they are more fuel efficient and more durable.
the Diesel engine in the Penske 26 footer is 1,000 lbs in weight versus 600 lbs weight of the gas engine in the 26 foot U-Haul. despite being 50% heavier the diesel is 30% less powerful. but the benefit is DURABILITY, which for 1,000 mile trips like mine is important.
of course diesel is only durable until some retard puts gas in it. this is why Penske has to keep prices high to push retards to use U-Haul.
i don't know for how much longer they can keep doing this though. people are getting dumber all the time.
