I think the sweetest point would have been a 3.5L Diesel, and have Ram offer a HD Payload package like Ford that offers another 1000lb of payload capacity. IMO, this will just about kill all arguments against Diesel as we have seen in this thread.
I would buy such a product.
Still, a 3.0L Diesel is pretty good as far as the engine is concerned. But without the HD Payload package, the use is rather limiting. I bet you, available payload with CrewCab and nicely optioned package will only give you sub-1200lb payload which is really too low for any RV use. Most mid-sized crossovers will kill this payload rating... Ford F150 Lariat with HD Payload package gives you 2500lb-ish so you can actually pull a decent trailer with it.
