Tell me again why diesel trucks are so much better than a gas powered one ? Seems every incarnation of any of the Big 3 diesel engines has issues. Seems every new "revised" engine is the "best one yet" but then within a few years major problems are discovered.
What widespread problems has the Cummins ever had? The only somewhat significant issue I'm aware of is the frequent regens on the non-SCR 6.7s if the truck is used as a short distance commuter. Outside of that I'm not aware of any widespread issues like the others have had, at least over the last decade or so.
And to answer your question, torque and fuel economy.
