I just kinda get a laugh that they are comparing the next to base engine in a Ford to the super premium motor in the Ram. Lol journalism at its best.
Worse yet is engine wise the lower line engine in the ford takes the ram engine to the woodshed.
Right now where I am at gas is 2.50 a gallon and diesel is 3.30. Sure the ecodiesel gets better mpg but it isn't cheaper per mile to fuel. Comebine that with much less power, much higher price, CP 4.2 grenade of a fuel pump, and all the emission nonsense that comes with a diesel.
When the cummins 5.9 and the 7.3 powerstroke were 3k options over the gas engines and diesel was cheaper, diesel was a good deal. Times have changed.
