I would like to see how many years you have to drive one of these trucks to actually see any real $$ savings. Factor in the up front cost, potential for costly repairs, DEF, etc. With modern emissions on newer diesels they dont get as great a mileage as some want to believe. I just dont get the whole “I’m saving money by driving a diesel” argument. Its a pipe dream...
Only a pipe dream if you have diesel envy. Repair cost aside for the moment as that is not really quantifiable, you don’t even need to get better mileage to break even, in general. You get the upcharge back when you sell it. Sometimes more if it’s the right truck and right engine.
