Easy, you don't want a diesel truck... You don't drive enough, you don't tow enough, you don't work a truck hard enough. You're not going to be happy with the mileage, you're not going to be happy with the maintenance, you're not going to be happy with the cold starts, and you're not going to like how a 3/4 ton truck rides vs your 1/2 ton Ford. I want a diesel truck too but have to recognize it would be totally wrong for me. If you really want a NEW truck go get one with a big v8 gasser, it'll be more fun and realistically the fuel economy is a small portion of the overall cost of ownership. -Curt Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 11:16:16 -0500 From: Randy Bennell<rbenn...@bennell.ca> To: Mercedes Discussion List<mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Diesel or Gas? Message-ID:<4f8ee8d0.10...@bennell.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I think I want a diesel truck. I worry that I might be hard on it in the winter with short runs but I would really like to have one in the summer for the highway runs to the lake. So, educate me if you can. I think I want the Dodge with the Cummins. I know I don't want the Ford. I am not sure about a GM product. The Cummins seems to be the best of the lot. But, the new ones are big. The earlier one made better mileage did it not? How new could I get without being in the new version? Early 2000's? What do I not want? Randy _______________________________________
