For us we are not fulltimers yet but to keep mileage down on our Ram 3500 megacab 4x4 we bought a new 2015 VW Jetta diesel 4 months ago. It gets over 50 mpg on the road and has 3 yr 36k mi bumper to bumper warranty (yes it has the emission cheating program). We also got zero % for 6 yrs. Both vehicles in our fleet are diesel now so no chance of gas in the diesel tank and DW can scout ahead for easy fuel stops. Both vehicles have built in bluetooth so we plan to use our hands free to communicate. The Ram is 6 yrs old and has 56k mi and it will last us the rest of our lives. Replacement would be over $60k and we paid only $44k new.
