Thanks enginenut, I think I'd buy a diesel handsdown but here in Ontario Ca. the diesel is $9,950.00 more plus there's a 13% tax on top of that which puts it over $11,000. I've been pouring over comments and articles to see if I can justify the extra $$ in fuel savings or longevity.
FWIW, I think this thread should live on forever in the Library of Congress. nobody has to read it if they don't want.
try and make up a 11,000 dollar difference on price with a 40% fuel economy incentive.. if all other things were equal, you have somewhere between a 5 to 10 cent price per mile bonus with the D.
IMHO,most people buy the Big D because they want one..
no doubt the D's pull like a Ox but most of the modern gassers will run like a Deer. gearing can accomplish what raw power does.
both will do the same thing.. don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
