Dodge - Diesel or gas?
Already know my new truck will be a 2014 Dodge SRW Crew Cab 4x4 with auto tranny. What I don't know is if I should go with the new 6.4 or diesel. Worked outthe numbers and the cost for my use of 15k...

Having recently bought an early 2000's F250, the diesel premium you show seems really high. We found for similarly equiped trucks, there was almost no premium for the diesel.
Those are NADA guide numbers. I didn't check for Ford, but I could imagine that the FORD 6.0 & 6.4 diesel DID NOT add much value in the used market. In my estimation and speaking with a close friend who WAS a owner of a 6.4 diesel, there would be NO premium, but a negative.
Just stating what I have seen. Others have a totally different picture.
Having sold a diesel Chevy let me say several dealers didn't want to give me any premium for a diesel trade in.
I think I got a small diesel premium but it took some talking.
My diesel was sure not worth the cost I paid vs. the use I received.
When diesels go wrong costs are high. Just injectors can be almost as expensive as a complete Gas engine overhaul.
