Looking at gas, 20 years in the Coast Guard, lots of time around diesels and just don't like the clatter or the smell.
LOL, have you been around any of the new diesels? They have neither clatter or smell! That said, I think you'll be happy with the 6.4L although I have to agree that towing 14k with one may be less than enjoyable in the mountains.
Yes, and the clatter and smell has been traded off for low mileage and poor reliability! The poor reliability comes from all the emissions junk that has been tacked onto them in the last 10 years.
I guess you missed the other thread with the 2011 Ram/Cummins with over 500k miles on the original emissions equipment.....my truck gets a consistent 10-11 mpg towing my 16k fiver in the mountains so I'd say that's not bad mileage either.
