See what I did there.....
And none of that is relevant to the 3.0 diesel as it is less powerful and more expensive. Not sure where this discussion is going.
Purchasing the diesel in the half ton variants for fuel economy is similar to purchasing an extended warranty in that you are paying more up front in anticipation of a payoff at a later date. If you keep it long enough and fuel prices do not do something stupid you will come out ahead. Simple as that.
