Diesel Trucks
A newbie here to the forum. Would like to ask diesel owners if they would recommend a diesel for use as a primary vehicle (short trips to the grocery, etc. when not pulling). We have heard that short trips are hard on the injectors.

- how big is your camper
- I used my truck as a daily driver, works fine. But I have to say that the nearest supermarket is several miles away from our home as is everything else I might want to go to. Most are more than 5 miles off. So I'm not an urban dweller.
- We used our 2002 Dodge 3/4 ton as the family daily driver for 145k miles no problem, the newer trucks ?? but the new 1/2 ton dodge diesel advertises it is good as a Dailey driver too.
- It's not hard on the injectors, it's hard for the modern emmissions junk to keep up with short trips.
A pre-DPF truck will serve you fine for those kinds of trips though.
We've used ours that way its whole life.
