Would you buy diesel again?

Would I buy a diesel truck again? Not likely. Actually, no truck is on the purchase radar. I bought the 2001.5 Dodge 24valve Cummins Ram new for the motor and drivetrain which I had a good feeling it would outlive me. So far so good @ 174K miles, but our life clock is ticking. Yes, low on power compared to the newest renditions in the Diesel Warz, but we're like the tortoise part of the tortoise and the hare and fine with that. Simple 4 inch exhaust with a free flow muffler. Almost nothing to trick the engine. That's it; No smog device; No pee canister; No DEF tank to deal with. With the manual 6 speed NV5600, we have had no use for an engine brake, even with a 16K pound GVW going downhill @ 6 % grade. Just keep downshifting.
Things are changing very quickly in the new truck market. Some good new gassers coming onto the scene. California has added an exorbitant tax on diesel fuel hoping our dirty diesel pick up brethren will skip the state in protest. It's a win-win for the State. I tried to find out how many are leaving CA but that is privileged information apparently just for politicians.
Doing our part in downsizing we did buy a new AWD Subaru Cross Trek last week as it has one of the best drive systems of any small SUV with something called X-mode, and 8.7 inches of ground clearance for our snowy lane. Now we have only 4 vehicles left, all with 4WD or AWD.
