Would you buy diesel again?
Those of you that have a newer diesel truck, 2015 and up, would you do it again?

Cool deal on actually doing a spreadsheet to analyze the estimated costs.
More folks should do that instead of issuing a blanket statement that "a diesel will cost more over the long haul"
It may or it may not.
I agree on the part about diesel being more logical when towing heavy.
Here's where I spend more money to operate / maintain my diesel:
Replacing fuel filters every 10k miles or so: $30-40
Allison spin-on trans filter every other oil change: $10.00
Additional cost for fuel since diesel costs more than gas - WHO KNOWS.
Cost for 10 quart oil change is a wash because most of the oil changes are done for free at my selling dealer.
I tow almost all the time I take the truck and camper out.
