Well I didn't pay $10,000 more for the diesel option in either my 2004 Ram 2500 or this 2015 Ram 1500. My 2004 diesel pickup sold for $18,500 a full $10,000 more than a hemi pickup.
I was fill up today and a guy pulled up with a 2009 Dura-Max that was in near perfect condition and he asked how I liked my Ecodiesel. As we talked he said he was thinking about ordering a 2016 GM but that the dealers would not even give him low wholesale for is currant truck. When I told him what I got for my 2004 less than a year ago he said well it looks like I'm going to have to sell it myself. If you trade vehicles in you are going to take a huge hit every single time.
A note diesel in my area is the same or less at some stations than gas right now. So that even makes it more beneficial to own a diesel.
Out of warranty cost for a diesel should be lower than for a gas engine. No tune ups, $645 for my DD 1998 Avenger and that was with my employee discount mind you. The only thing that will put a hurt to you is if you have to replace a injection pump, but it's not like we are seeing these things dropping like flies. Gas injectors fail just like diesel if not maintained. So
