I will probably trade the truch after 3 years with under 50,000 miles. So which is the most cost efffective for me, diesel or gas. I know the diesel PU intially costs more, but the salesperson said I'd get more for the trade-in!
What say you ??
Here is a thought - buy used, whether BB or diesel.
There are a bunch of folks that have over spent, even bought big trucks just last year, and find themselves upside down in life. They need to get rid of their vehicles.
Downside - you need to take care that you get clear title. Those folks likely will need to add some of their money with your money in a big check to a finance company...
Or look for used on a dealer lot. Then look at a new one. Then back to the used one. Like that for about 2 hours...
Good luck!!!
