I dont have a fleet of diesels to maintain..I have one and love it. Maintenance may or may not be more money for me (I dont really care to be honest with you), but what I do know is my 3500 Cummins is not screaming up a mountain and shifting left and right. I get about 23mpg on the highway empty...I love the torque and smoothness of the cummins. I dont plan on owning it for 7-10 years (something new will come along and grab my interest I am sure), but I would guess my resale will be substantially higher whenever I do trade it in. I honestly dont see any reason to have a gas engine in a 1 ton truck....but maybe I am missing something?
Did you read the article? The authors reasons for buying a gas powered truck are well explained.
I'm well aware of what its like pulling with a Cummins.
I'm not trying to convince anyone that the 6.4L Hemi is the bees knees for everyone. I don't care what others buy, as everyone has different wants and needs. Buy what makes you happy - I did.
