So the used market prices on diesel trucks are often priced way over peoples budgets.
Well, yeah. The fact that a higher priced vehicle may fall outside of some budgets is beside the point. Diesel trucks hold their value better, and that's not really debatable.
Are you sure. More expensive does not equal higher resale value. Just my cursory checking same year, vehicle, and mileage in KBB averaged about $4k more for the diesel compared to the gas engine. So the diesel is in fact worth more dollars but the original price was also at least $4k more new.
I spent about a year shopping, so yeah I'm pretty sure. Maybe it varies a lot by region, but in the northwest there's a big premium for used Cummins or Duramax, and to a lesser extent Powerstrokes, over gas trucks. So much so that I ended up buying new because for a few thousand more I got a new truck with a full warranty over one that was a few years old with 50-75k miles on it.
